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.

Hi Reader, I’ve been thinking about the phrase I hear most often after I speak. “Our meetings aren't working.” Let’s get more precise. Meetings don’t fail because people are careless. If I walked into your recurring meeting and asked, “What will exist at the end of this hour that does not exist now?” would the answer be clear? Not a discussion. Not alignment. Not a good conversation. A tangible product. A decision. A documented commitment. A prioritized list. A defined problem statement. If...
