With so much change in the world, we need great leaders now more than ever. My goal is to help executives prepare to lead in the biggest roles of their careers by offering the type of practical wisdom and guidance that you’d give a friend you care about.

Here, I share ideas and celebrate the incredible leaders who step into big roles, give it their all, and create value that makes the world better for all of us. 

Since 2019, I’ve written a column for Forbes to support senior leaders around the world. I approach every article I write with a question: “What helps executives excel?”
