me, writing: what's a table that you work on. oh, right, a work table. alright, next sentence. me, a solid ten minutes later: desk that's a desk, crap.

Some dude leaned out of his car this morning and wolf howled at me (is that what it's called? a completely unhinged "arooooo"). I was very concerned. Are you okay buddy? Do you have poisoning from your toxic masculinity? Do we need to call you an ambulance? 🙄🤦‍♂️🙃.

you know the writer's block is bad if I'm on twitter.

To new followers, some bad news -- I don't post on Twitter! This place messes with my blood pressure. Head on over to LinkedIn, where I share the good stuff. Or browse through very old half-hearted tweets from me here, be my guest ;).

me in college: look, I'll get a psychology degree but I'm not interested in clinical psychology because I don't want to be a therapist. me, an executive coach: guess I'm a therapist now.

Hi I'd like to eat at my favorite dim sum place without two white tech bros walking in and asking the server "so what do you think of coronavirus" thanks.

Subconsciously, all of us tweak what we say to come off better to others. To what extent is this skillful marketing vs being disingenuous? And for people who are disadvantaged by their background or identities, is doing so "getting ahead," or simply "catching up?" #ethicalsellout

What do we do when sticking to our values means losing security, prestige, or stability? There are no one-size-fits-all answers, but by centering our impact, seeking nuance, and balancing self-honesty with self-compassion we can make our own way forward. #ethicalsellout

As we head into 2020, plenty of us will commit to living more authentically, compromising less, living our truths. but this is a hard commitment to keep in our world. Read my latest, deeply personal piece to learn how we can sell out and maintain our integrity. #ethicalsellout.

Loved sharing my story for this podcast! Even as a #diversity, #equity, and #inclusion consultant, I'm not immune to the same pressure to compromise my values that we all face. Navigating the Content Industrial Complex is hard--but it's crucial we learn how in 2020.
