Work with Me

"The Renaissance Team replaces the Renaissance Person." — Bruce Mau

Every once in a while, you read something that doesn’t just land; it echoes. Bruce Mau recently shared his idea of the Renaissance Team, which did exactly that for me. It distilled a belief I have carried for years but hadn’t yet articulated quite as powerfully: the myth of the lone genius is fading. In a world of exponential complexity and overlapping challenges, brilliance is no longer about having all the answers; it’s about k…

Don’t count the coins,
count the sunsets.
Count the times you laughed so hard
You forgot what hurt.

Let your souvenirs be
the warmth of someone’s eyes
when you really listened.
The chill of ocean wind
as you stood
on a cliff that changed your breath.

Buy less. Be more.

Because the things,
they gather dust,
lose shape,
get packed in boxes
and passed along
without memory.

But the moments,
ah, the moments…
they live in your marrow.
They echo in your smile
when no one’s watching.
They sneak into your stories
and make them…

“All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make, the better.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

If you have ever found yourself at a crossroads - questioning your direction, searching for meaning, or simply wondering what’s next - you’re not alone. One of the most powerful tools I have encountered in navigating these questions is the Japanese concept of ikigai (pronounced ick-ee-guy). While often translated as “a reason for being,” it’s more than a career tool or a life hack - it’s about alignment.…

“You are the artist of your own life. Don’t hand the paintbrush to anyone else.” - Don Miguel Ruiz

I have been thinking a lot about creativity lately. Maybe you have, too. For me, it came in waves during the pandemic. With the world on pause, something dormant inside me began to stir. I started drawing and painting again, writing more freely, and exploring - not because I had to, but because something inside me needed to create. And I remembered something I had long tucked away: I was a creative …

“We’re all players in a game we didn’t design, navigating alliances, uncertainty, and the wild terrain of human behavior.”

I have been watching Survivor since the very first season. What began as a guilty pleasure quickly became something far more unexpected: a raw, unfiltered masterclass in human behavior, strategy, and the invisible dynamics that shape social dynamics.

Underneath the torches, blindside votes, and muddy challenges lies something profound. Survivor compresses life into a high-stak…

I am not one thing,
and I am not many things scattered.
I am a constellation,
each point a story,
each story a thread in the fabric of becoming.

The leader,
the artist,
the seeker,
the builder—
not separate rooms,
but one great hall,
where all of me gathers around the same fire.

There were times I tried to choose,
to sever parts of myself,
to fit into rooms too small for my wholeness.
But my soul kept whispering:
All of it is you. All of it belongs.

Now I see—
my strength is not in singularity,
but in symphony.

I w…

“Fear does not prevent death. It prevents life.” – Naguib Mahfouz

We all have a relationship with fear. The only question is: What kind of relationship is it?

Some people are paralyzed by fear, avoiding risk, overthinking every decision, and numbing their desire. Others are motivated by it, using fear as a trigger for action or a compass toward growth. But here’s the thing: fear itself isn’t the problem. It’s our response to it that defines what comes next. Fear is part of our biological design. I…

“Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness.” – Frank Gehry

There’s something timeless and humbling about the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco. Built for the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition, it was never meant to last. And yet, more than a century later, it still stands - an enduring testament to what happens when human imagination is allowed to stretch beyond function into beauty. This structure isn’t just a monument; it’s a metaphor. In leadership, we often b…

I used to think
my power lived in the broadcast
in the sound of my own signal
cutting through the noise.

But I’ve come to learn
that clarity does not come
from constant transmission.
It arrives in the quiet
between pulses.

I am not here
to shout into the void.
I am here
to attune.

So now
I wait.
I open.
I gather the subtle static
of things not yet said.
The whispers of what wants to be born
but hasn't found its shape.

This is not absence.
It is calibration.
A tuning of the inner dial
to the frequency of emergence.

I re…

"The future belongs to those who make space for it."

We often tell ourselves that time is the limiting factor in our lives - there’s never enough of it! But what if time isn’t the real constraint? What if the real scarcity is space? Not just physical space but mental, emotional, and strategic space - the kind that allows us to think deeply, imagine freely, and make decisions with clarity.

In an era where busyness is worn like a badge of honor, we’re conditioned to believe that productivity is meas…
