❤️ Enjoy The Day


Hi Reader,

We've got a new SparkLab Summit in April; stay tuned for more info.

Did you catch any of the "7 Excuses You Make to Keep You From Leading" series on Wake Up a Leader?

I have several new tools to help you manage better and lead well in the pipeline. In the meantime, since it's Valentine's Day, you might be interested in listening to some of my lyrics. I launched this playlist in December and have been adding to it.


Keep advancing confidently in the direction of your dreams and help others along the way.
