I love to travel, try new foods, ingest caffeine, and watch political news coverage. A psychologist by training trying to bring a little common sense to it all.
Here I go again on the road. Hoping my flight is not delayed or better yet not cancelled. My son asked me, for the first time ever, if he could go with me on a business trip. I don’t know if he was looking to avoid going to […]
The psychology of the workplace through the lens of Oscar night The Hollywood award season has come to an end. Now we can maybe focus on some world events. I hear there is some of that going on. I caught the live feed of the Oscar […]

Bomba Y Plena: Dancing Whimsy at a Leadership Development and Training Event I grew up in the South Bronx in a fairly predominant Puerto Rican neighborhood. We would do parrandas (a version of caroling) around the Christmas holidays and drink coquitos. However, it was not until I went […]
A blaze of comfort on a crowded plane with crying babies and grumpy passengers I hold on tightly to the little toy. I finger the heels and a wistful smile spreads across my face. Anyone watching me, although everyone is deep into their iPad or cell phone, would […]
