A Pale Blue Reminder

Recently, the Artemis Program brought our divided world together.

People across countries, beliefs, and backgrounds were united - cheering for a common goal.
It reminded us of something easy to forget in the noise of everyday life:

We are small. And we are connected.

If you haven’t watched the astronauts’ press conference, it’s worth a listen.
They speak not just about science, but about perspective - about what it means for all of us.

Or, if you have 90 seconds, revisit Carl Sagan and his reflection on the Pale Blue Dot.

It has a way of putting everything back into place.

Made My Day

I was in the coffee shop having a meeting at the window bar when something(s) went by that caught my eye...Two senior couples and two St Bernards walked by...all wearing gold party hats! I wish I could have learned more about what was going on but it sure put smiles on our faces.

What made your day?

What's new!

I’m hosting a small number of team retreats on a private island right here on (technically, off!) Vancouver Island, Canada (Pacific Northwest for my US friends). They’re a meaningful way to bring teams together on a whole different level.

There are two experiences:

The Executive Edge - for leadership teams looking to realign, think strategically, and strengthen how they lead together
The UPLIFT Experience - for team building, appreciation, and reconnecting people to each other and their work

They’re designed for busy, high-performing groups who aren’t broken… just ready to reconnect, recharge, and come back with more clarity and energy.

If someone comes to mind - a team, leader, or organization that could use that kind of reset - I’d be so grateful if you kept me in mind or made a connection.

Of course, still booking keynote conversations, as well!
