Most of the world commutes…
Maybe you commute to work, or maybe to school. Some have long commutes, some short. Some drive. Some take public transportation or walk. Maybe it’s the few steps to your home office or to wake up the kids.

I have started a new chapter of my life and career in which my commute will be to all points of the globe. This amazing opportunity gives me the gift of time to be inspired by and learn from different cultures, while looking at it all through the lens of 20 years of experience developing talent and coaching leaders.
