Really looking forward to speaking at @IRE_NICAR's NICAR Conference next month. We'll be talking about better teams (my favorite) and generally working better with other humans (necessary, IMO).

🎙️ New episode out!
January gets sold as a “fresh start,” but for many leaders it feels heavy. In Episode 3 of the Leadership Wellbeing Series, we talk honestly about mental health, stigma, and leading without performative vulnerability.
