6,700 KM Later… Let’s Talk Leadership


Hey Reader,

THIS WEEK IN LEADERSHIP

Let’s address the elephant in the inbox:

You may have noticed I’ve been a bit quiet lately—and for good reason.

Between a demanding period in my day job and making sure I stayed fully present at home, I had to hit pause to avoid showing up half-charged. Add to that a 3-week road trip with my family back to my home province of Newfoundland (yes, we drove—over 6,700 km round trip!), and it was time to practice what I preach: Prioritize what matters, and protect your energy.

But I’m back. Fully recharged, fully focused—and more fired up than ever to help you lead with clarity and confidence in this fast-moving world.
