The moment I knew I had to write this book
|
Hi friend, There’s a moment in every big leap where something shifts inside you. For me, that moment came during one of the hardest seasons of my life—a season where I was suddenly reminded that time is precious, purpose matters, and unfinished work has a way of tapping you on the shoulder. That’s when one sentence came to me, clear as day: “It all happens in the meeting room.” After 31 years in the energy industry — leading, stumbling, learning, and leading again — I looked back and realized something simple but true: Every breakthrough, every conflict, every turning point in my career happened inside a meeting room. And no one ever taught me how to orchestrate those moments. That’s why I knew I had to write The Meeting Room. Not because the world needed another leadership book, but because so many people step into leadership without being equipped to lead the rooms where leadership actually happens. This book became the resource I wish I’d had decades ago—the one that would have saved me from a handful of messy meetings, sleepless nights, and “I wish I had handled that differently” moments. Over the next few emails, I want to take you behind the scenes of my book author journey—the clarity, the chaos, the creativity, and the quiet courage it took to finish this book during one of the most challenging chapters of my life. I’m grateful you’re here with me. More soon, P.S.

Hi, friend. I walked out to the garden this morning and my lavender is dying. Again. I planted it a few weeks ago, and this time I planted it with hope. I told myself this would be the one that made it. Then the rain came, weeks of it, and this morning the leaves are gray and limp and the whole plant looks like it has given up. 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...
