My first video: shortest real estate career in history

July 28, 2010

ShareTuesday night I gave a 90 minute presentation entitled Everyday Leadership, Everyday Courage to a group of young (early 20s) people enrolled in a Global Leadership program.

Announcing my intention, asking for what I want and doing it all wrong

February 28, 2010

ShareAck. Even the title makes me want to run and hide under the bed (if I had a bed, that is). Why is it that I can publicly proclaim that I fucked up my life, that I struggle with depression and tend to drink a tad much…but when it comes to making a simple announcement [...]
