She Knows the WayRedefining Identity and Living an Artful LifeWhat do you say when someone asks you to introduce yourself? If you're anything like Kore Koubourlis, your answer is complicated and deeply personal. Our life experiences influence how we craft our identity and how it evolves over time. And sometimes, the person we become is endlessly surprising to us (and to our past selves). Kore and I talk about it all. And how we're constantly redefining ourselves in the face of change. We even talk about how we secretly want to be witches. (Still.) Kore Koubourlis is a high-performance coach, talent expert, former Microsoft...

She Knows the WayHow to Think About Work NowYou've probably heard the old saying – "Find a job you love, and you'll never work a day in your life." For years, conventional wisdom around that first part – finding a job you love – was to do something with purpose and meaning to you.

In other words, what do we want work to do for us? Adrian Granzella Larssen was the first managing editor at The Muse, a websit...

Our brains were tired because of the constant tiny decisions we had to make about safety. But after two years, shouldn't we be better at making choices after all that practice? K...
