Designing Clarity for Visionary Leadership & Livable Success
The BOLD (Nurture Happiness) Your feeds are full of New Year’s energy, I’m sure. “Jump on this one moment, the only one in which new starts are possible, and make massive plans to conquer space and time itself.” No pressure. My feed is bubbling with the stuff. I love this time of the year. I …
The BOLD (Take a Mulligan) At first, I thought it was just me. Then I had some conversations—with clients, with colleagues, with friends—and apparently many of us have had a very sticky first 12 days of 2021. The good news is that new start can have a new start. We can still rock 2021. Even if …
The BOLD (The Most Personal Account) Yesterday, I found myself walking two and a half miles in Rockwood Park with my husband, doing intervals, and getting my heart rate elevated.

Your contribution will be larger, your impact deeper and your example more potent if you can sustain your success. That means that we all …
