A View of the Sky
Yesterday was the 15th anniversary of 9/11. As I read about the event at the site of the towers, I could see that the designers of the new site have not constructed a monument as much as a place of remembrance. Mr. Bloomberg was reported as saying, “I always thought the best memorial for anybody […]
Sometimes a Bicycle Ride is more than a Bicycle Ride
29 years ago, I started my company. I had been a leader of a large unit within a very large organization, so I had many skills in visioning and running an organization. But when I started my company, there remained things it took me years to discover and learn. Today, many individuals want to stretch […]
Practice is No Small Change
I used to say that I have done Pilates for the last 18 years. But now all I can say is that I’ve practiced Pilates for 18 years. I had been reading from a little gem of a book called, The Little Book of Talent by Daniel Coyle. In the Introduction, he speaks of how […]
Catie is Gone – Reflections on a Friendship
On Friday, Catie and I talked about the project we would begin when she returned from her conference in Jamaica. On Saturday, I got a call from a mutual friend who said, “Caitlyn Antrim is deceased.” I had to repeat it back to her on the call so I could be absolutely sure that was […]

Unexpected Lessons from Viruses or Lessons about Virtual Learning
Because of today’s crisis, schools and universities who are not virtual are now moving to virtual, online instruction. Making the transition to teaching beyond the classroom takes a bit of thought and planning. I won’t claim to be the font of all knowledge, but I am willing to share the lessons I have learned that […]
The Hidden Fatigue of Virtual Meetings
Today, Tuesday, I will spend a minimum of 3 hours on back-to-back Zoom calls. A week ago, Tuesday, I spent 6 hours on Zoom meetings. I won’t bore you with the other details of my schedule in between during this Coronavirus time. All I know is that participating in a meeting that includes video sharing […]
Headlines, Subject lines and Titles that Say Nothing Are Wrecking My Productivity
I’m tired of headlines and subject lines that are designed only to ‘attract’ my attention regardless of how consistent with the message they may be or not. When I see things like ‘Disaster’ or ‘You shouldn’t have to put your life on the line to be a hero’ or ‘Abandoning the cause’ or … What […]
