How was your week? I’m still feeling uncomfortable. There’s a point where reflection stops being responsible and starts becoming a way to avoid deciding what comes next. Looking back gives you something solid to hold onto. But when the ground is shifting, it can also become a substitute for progress. A way to stay busy without committing. A way to delay the harder work of choosing direction when certainty is no longer available. That’s the moment I’m in now, and I imagine I’m

How was your week? Mine has been quieter than usual, which is often when the harder thoughts finally have room to surface. Last week, I wrote about catching myself doing the very thing I warn others about. Chasing noise. Confusing motion with progress. Letting urgency crowd out judgment. This week feels like the natural continuation of that thought. Because once you stop chasing everything, you are left with a more uncomfortable question. What actually keeps you in the work w

Hey! How was your week?   Mine has been reflective and a little uncomfortable, which is usually a sign that something useful is happening. Last week, we talked about the people who shaped our year. This week is about the work itself. Not the polished version. The real one. The parts that worked, the parts that didn’t, and what it actually cost us to learn the difference. I want to start with something simple. Some of what we believed at the beginning of the year turned out to

Hi, how was your week? Mine has been one of those where I needed to get comfortable with feeling uncomfortable. And here's why:  This is the time every year when I usually take some time to build out the strategy for the next twelve months. The team maps out priorities, spots the opportunities, and decides what we want to create.   This year feels very different, almost terrifyingly so. As I look ahead to 2026, it is clear that we are in the midst of a once-in-a-lifetime tran

Hi everyone, how’s your week?   Mine was special! Very special! For the first time in a few years, I took some time off and travelled to meet a group of people I had been meeting with 2 or 3 times a week on Zoom for 2 years. There was a sereness to meeting a dozen people for the first time in person and yet feeling like you've known them all your life. We come from four continents, various ages, and cultures, yet we couldn't wait to gather in Florida to practice wellness and

Hey, how was your week? Mine ended with a song and a flash of memory. Kodachrome came on the radio just as I finished my first Medium article on understanding. Paul Simon’s line hit me hard: “When I think back on all the crap I learned in high school, it’s a wonder I can think at all.” I tried telling Siri to remind me about it. She failed miserably. So I did the old-fashioned thing: I pulled over, grabbed a pen, and wrote a note to myself. It made me pause and think about wh

Hey, how was your week? Mine was... revealing. I've been thinking a lot about something I don't talk about much: my relationship with information. And how it nearly broke me. Last week, we discussed critical thinking and why we should be questioning what we're told.   But here's what I realized: before we can think critically, we have to admit something uncomfortable. We're drowning in information and starving for understanding. I know because I've been there, and I'm slowly

Hi everyone, How was your week? Ours was busy; we just wrapped our 14th DCC Roundtable on LinkedIn automation. While preparing, I had an awakening. Something I’d been sensing but couldn’t name. And then it hit me:   we’re on a more slippery slope than I ever imagined. I’m not a doomsayer, but I’ve seen this before - moments when disruption demanded our involvement. This one does too… but for how long? I’ve always admired the builders, those who turn chaos into structure and v

Hi…. How was your week? Ours? Let’s just say it’s been busy — in the best possible way. We didn’t forget the newsletter. We pressed pause. On purpose. Because we’ve been working behind the scenes on something worth the wait. Actually,   three   things that all tie together. And the first one kicks off next week. 1. The Roundtable — The Secrets of LinkedIn Next week, we’re bringing in someone who   really   knows how LinkedIn works — not just the algorithm, but the art of show
