Slaying (Inner) Dragons

Growing up With Ulcerative Colitis — I don’t talk about this very often. Mostly because it was so long ago that sometimes it feels like it happened to someone else. I guess, in a way, it kind of did. That’s what happens when a chronic disease sets up camp in your body at the age of…

When No Plan IS a Strategy

Seemingly Random — Precisely Perfect — My professional trajectory confuses a lot of people. Can’t lie. It amuses me. Because here’s the thing — while I cannot say it was entirely a strategic plan, every step along the way makes perfect sense — when taken as a whole. But like so many people that’s not how…

Breathing Room

Learning to Back-Up and Give Room It’s probably no coincidence that whenever I take one of those online quizzes that purports to answer the question — if you were a dog, what kind of dog would you be? — I come up as German Shepherd. High drive. Focused. A propensity…

Beaver

With it being Pride month and with my being a lesbian let’s be clear. I’m not talking about that kind of Beaver. I am talking about what it means to be home, and how in a strange way a Beaver guided me there. If we’re calling home the place where…

Meme with a Mission and Message

What it Means to be One of the Most Popular NHL GIFs I’m a meme. Literally. It’s not something I planned. It’s not something that was part of a strategy. But it happened. I’m a meme. It was the fall of 2019 and it was time for pre-season games. …

By Any Means Necessary

When Broken Leadership Breaks a Team … Literally. Hockey is a brutal sport. It’s physical. It’s grueling. It requires an insane level of physical endurance, prowess and agility. It’s hard-hitting and intense. At no time are all of those things more true than during the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Four rounds…

Fish Stink from the Head

Masterclass in Flawed Leadership by Florida Panthers So that was interesting. When I penned last week’s item about the lessons from the Western Conferences final between the Vegas Golden Knights and Dallas Stars, it didn’t occur to me there’d be a next level Masterclass offered on the topic when we…

Leadership is Everyone’s Job

When Poor Sportsmanship Defines a Game and Sends a Message Wow. Nothing like witnessing a grown man have a hissy fit meltdown that infects an arena filled with 18,532 people. Well, that was the number at American Airlines Center in Dallas when the game started Tuesday night, but by half…

The Grief of Change

Finding Magic in the Transition Between Things When I let myself be still, the messages come. I entered this year with anticipation, excitement and knowing there would be a colossal journey ahead. Boy was that an understatement. It was an untethering that began in the start of 2022, but as…
