What makes you laugh? I’ve been thinking a lot about what makes me laugh lately. And, not the polite, socially acceptable chuckle you deploy in meetings when someone says “let’s circle back,” but the real laugh. The slightly unhinged, slightly inappropriate, possibly-should-be-checked-by-a-professional kind of laugh. The kind that […]
Somewhere between loyalty and footwear confusion lies the modern workplace dilemma. What do you do when your boss makes an odd request or gives you a truly questionable gift? Enter Marco Rubio, recently spotted in what appeared to be shoes auditioning for a different foot. Not just slightly […]
People talk a lot about networking. Expand your circle.Grow your circle.Build your circle. The assumption seems to be that the larger the circle, the better. But I have a small suspicion about circles. They are not all created equal. Some circles are power sources. And some circles are […]
I saw a post on LinkedIn the other day that stopped me mid-scroll. It began with a toungue-in-cheek dramatic declaration “I spilled my coffee this morning.” Naturally, I leaned in. Because if the internet has taught us anything, it is that no minor inconvenience goes unanalyzed or made […]

But if […]
There’s a quote by James Baldwin that has been echoing in my head lately like a stubborn song lyric you can’t shake “I can’t believe what you say, because I see what you do.” It feels like the quote of the moment. Maybe the quote of the decade. […]
I saw a quote on LinkedIn the other day that stopped me mid-scroll. “I can’t believe what you say because I see what you do.” Which is a polite, professional way of saying: Sir, the math is not mathing. And it struck me how profoundly true this feels […]
I recently watched Triangle of Sadness, which is not my usual cinematic comfort zone. I prefer my movies with a touch more joy and a touch less existential nausea. But this one? This one stuck. It’s satire with a scalpel slicing into beauty, wealth, class, and the elaborate […]
