2026: Building Together

Happy New Year! Thank you. For reading my blog, visiting the site, buying the book, and staying connected across social media. Your engagement tells me this work is landing where it matters. Here's what I keep watching in real organizations. Change fails when the conversations aren't designed to hold clarity, tension, and actual decisions. Meetings show you that gap fast. That's the work I'm staying focused on in 2026. Building on what's already working—the Meeting ROI App and The Meeting Persona App—and helping leaders apply it in their meeting rooms. One example is that I'll be speaking at the Utility Change Conference East this month, working with leaders who live inside real change every day. I'm glad we're in this together. Warmly, P.S.

This is not my first failed lavender. It is not my second. I keep planting it, it keeps dying, and every single time I have asked myself the same question. What am I...
It's been a minute. January, actually. That's the last time I showed up in your inbox, and I want to be straight with you about that. I didn't disappear because I lost interest or ran out of things to say. The opposite happened. The last few months have been full of activity, and I let this slip while I was in the middle of all of it. Here's the short version of where I've been: I presented at the ISPI conference in Nashville in April. People came up afterward telling me how what I said about...
Hi Reader, Let’s try something. After my book The Meeting Room began circulating, readers kept telling me the same thing: They recognized themselves in the characters. The person quietly tracking the real conversation while others were talking. The leader trying to keep the room moving. The one who asks the question everyone else is avoiding. The person trying to keep the room calm. Every person in a meeting plays a role. It's not about "good" versus "bad." Just patterns in how people show up...
