Our beautiful tree was damaged by the severe Cape Cod winds
More down trees near our pond
And another tree … we lost 8 trees
We even have trees in the pool

As I got older, I realized:

1 lost money can be found; lost time is lost forever

2 learning to learn, and changing yourself is a superpower

3 you are not your job

4 networking is about giving

5 best teacher is your last mistake

6 good manners as important as good education
As I got older, I realized:

7 do not take your health for granted

8 be a better friend and value relationships

9 if you are waiting for a title to lead, you are not ready to lead

10 a sponsor is more important than a mentor

11 a good story is soulful with sprinkling of data
As I got older, I realized:

12 stop worrying about what others think of you

13 if you want an easier life, work on harder problems

14 best teachers are life long students

15 imposter syndrome is real

16 fight against a sense of entitlement

17 half the battle is showing up

People work very hard to put food on our tables
The next time you enjoy radishes in your salad, remember the farmworkers who harvest the food that we eat.

Here is how hard workers harvest celery in the fields.

Dear managers,

Your job is not to make people work harder.

Your responsibility to help your team achieve their goals, let them know that their work matters, and then recognize and reward those who consistently help the team deliver timely, high quality and positive outcomes.
Dear managers,

The language you use, and words that you choose to speak, will shape your culture.

Your language also reveals your leadership core values.

Strong leaders use remarkable words. Are your words inspiring and lifting people up?

Your words must empower and motivate.
