What’s possible when we hold that two things can be true? Recently, at the end of a stressful day at the end of a stressful week, I needed a pick-me-up, so I hit up my rainy-day YouTube playlist and rewatched Fred Rogers’ testimony before Senate from May 1969. In the six-minute video, Rogers appears before a Senate subcommittee to defend $20 million in federal funding, at risk of being cut in half, for the then newly formed Corporation for Public Broadcasting. He makes the case for what he calls “a meaningful expression of care,” the kind of programming that shows characters exploring and di ..read more

I’ve watched The West Wing start to finish no fewer than 30 times. And if we’re talking individual episodes, I guarantee you can triple that for “Celestial Navigation,” “Two Cathedrals,” and “Posse Comitatus”—because sometimes I need a good cry. Friends have begged me to broaden my episodic horizons. Watch Breaking Bad, they said. Game of Thrones, Stranger Things. When I give them polite nods and blank looks around the watercooler, they implore me to step into the worlds of The Office, Veep, and Ted Lasso. No, thanks. I’m good with Sam and Josh and Toby and C.J. and Charlie and Leo and Pres ..read more

This weekend is Super Bowl 58. The Kansas City Chiefs vs. the San Francisco 49ers. Patrick Mahomes vs. Brock Purdy. The genius of longtime coach Andy Reid vs. the mastermind Kyle Shanahan. Storylines abound in this rematch of the 2020 Super Bowl, as it pits two of the most successful NFL franchises ever against each other. The Chiefs have won three Super Bowls. The Niners have won five. Kansas City’s last win came last year at the expense of the Philadelphia Eagles. San Francisco hasn’t won since Steve Young quarterbacked them to victory 30 years ago. Between them, the two clubs have 53 Hal ..read more

I used to work with this guy who always had a hack for everything. He had a hack for growing his online presence. A hack for losing weight. A hack to get free Netflix. He even had a hack for getting free Air Jordans, although I suspect it was just his brother making knock-off sneakers in his garage on a Saturday night. For years, I called this guy Life-MacGyver in my head, and not with a particularly flattering tone. He just seemed so jumbled, so flighty and completely lacking in discipline. After all, I was much more logical about things. I knew how to get things done, in which order thing ..read more

Where I live in Washington state, in the Pacific Northwest of the U.S., there are—officially—nearly 700 miles of hiking trails through the old-growth forests, across the snow-capped mountain peaks, and beside the freshwater lakes of the region’s state and national parks. I have hiked exactly zero miles of these trails. (I’m more of a beachcombing, waves-crashing, whale-watching kind of girl.) But you can’t live in these parts without acquiring some know-how about the makings of a good hike. Every trail worth taking contains a mixture of five key elements: Views: A great hiking trail delive ..read more

In the corner of my spare room, under the window and next to a small metal craft cart that holds Christmas wrapping paper and extra gift tags, stands a white goose on a small patch of green grass—a treasured, if somewhat ridiculous, gift I received more than 20 years ago. One which I happily carted across the country when I moved from Ohio to Washington state, and which has repeatedly escaped weekends of spring cleaning and boxes earmarked for donation. First popular in the Midwest in the 1980s, the “porch goose” is a cement lawn ornament that saw a resurgence in the late ’90s and early aug ..read more

Experience, competency, and capability are the familiar domains of consideration in leadership succession, but it’s the character-based dimensions of talent readiness that make or break successful leadership transitions.   Cheryl Chantry When traditional succession planning is augmented as a more strategic lever in talent identification and development, its impacts go well beyond the typical risk management lens through which it is often viewed. Opportunities emerge to truly nurture the top talent in an organization, amplifying loyalty and impact of succession talent on the inside. Fost ..read more
