Life is tough, man, and even the good stuff is intense. So even though I will often “just keep swimming” to survive sometimes, I can do a better job of letting myself off the hook sometimes, and creating some space to think, reflect, and, most importantly, feel.

I've been working in campaigns, elections, and advocacy for almost 15 years and following politics for longer than that. I've never seen our country so stressed about an election.

Technology has given us better tools to support high function teams. As the modern workplace continues to evolve and more of us are working in virtual offices or from the road, technology is also becoming the glue that holds our teams and organizations together.

When people get stuck on process, it's not usually the process that's the problem. The challenge is more likely a lack of alignment on goals and outcomes.
