Lead with love.

I help you navigate the business world without selling your soul.

Do well by doing good. Lead with love, rather than fostering more fear.

These are decisions you make in the face of volatility and change. Do you run away from negative consequences… or run toward positive, empowering visions?

Fear can be an effective tactic, but it’s a horrible way to live. There’s a better way.

Full disclosure: it took me years to get comfortable using the word love in a business setting. I finally realized my definition of love was far too narrow. It’s not a word reserved for romantic or family relationships. It means caring deeply enough to want the best possible outcome for others, yourself, and the larger whole—and to act accordingly.

Society continually tests who we want to be. Do we define ourselves by what we oppose, or by what feeds our soul?

Again and again, I write about choosing love over fear, not to convince anyone, but to remind myself which I need to choose.

All issues of this newsletter are free, with two exceptions:

  1. Paid subscribers are invited to regular online gatherings that I facilitate. These are deep yet practical conversations about moving through the business world without succumbing to a fear-based mindset.

  2. Every quarter, starting this January, I’ll summarize the most powerful lessons that emerge from our gatherings. If you miss a session, you’ll still benefit from the wisdom of the group. These summaries will form a concise library of tested and high-potential insights generated by our community.

My reason for shifting much of my focus from LinkedIn—where I have over 500,000 subscribers—to Substack is simple: I want a closer relationship with the community for whom I write. Contrary to how business usually works, I don’t want more subscribers; I want less. But I want people who are deeply engaged: who think and feel deeply, and who are motivated to connect with me and with one another.

Please subscribe and see where it takes you.
