Today’s’ blog is inspired by a real conversation that I had with a client about her core values.

Read MoreMost people know how to play Tag. I tag you, you're it, I get to run around. Tag me, I'm it, you get to run around. Amoeba Tag is a fun adaptation of the classic game, where once I tag you, rather than running off, we're now linked together.

I am incredibly lucky to have been doing what I love for nearly 5 years.
Read MoreI want to talk about the importance of allowing for all types of feedback, in whatever space you're in.

This week, I want to talk about leading teams through the lens of pack mentality. Specifically, I want to share some differences between sheep and wolves. I’ll then tie these differences back into leadership.

What I know about you is that you've been looking for a sign. More specifically, you've been looking for that sign that you're okay and that it's going to be okay. I know you've been looking for it because that's usually the sign that I need too. I'm here to tell you that it is okay.
