We can accomplish nothing in life without conversations. Just as the most important aspect of your health is your diet, the most important aspect of your success is the conversations you have. The quality of our lives is determined by the quality of our conversations.
My New Book
I decided to write a book. Use this form to follow its launch and release.
Loosely the book is about playing the long game. I am challenging the dominant discourse of leadership and management. In the book, I suggest we need different metaphors for understanding the workplace.
I also share a tool I developed that helps folks integrate strategy and tactics.
If something here interests you feel free to add your details to this list. I will send updates as things emerge.
Disruptive Conversations
A business podcast where I interview people who are trying to disrupt a sector or system. Any sector. Any system.
