Bring Your Truth to Work
I worked in corporate sales for 20 years. At Polycom, it was the end of the quarter, and what mattered more than anything was meeting my number — even at the cost of the client’s well-being. I felt dirty. Numbers mattered. Image mattered. But inside, I felt hollow — like a puppet going through the motions.
Genius
The Genius We Can’t Always See
For the last thirty minutes, I got caught in a vortex of beauty and magic—
watching Kennedy Center Honors performances on YouTube.
One of my favorites?
Heart performing “Stairway to Heaven.”
The music, the power, the reverence—it moved me.
You can see the genius of the performers shining on stage.
Like many of my clients, I’m drawn to excellence—not just in what’s visible, but in what’s supported behind the scenes.
This is true in careers too.
Your genius may not be center stage,
but it quietly shapes the world around you.
