She Knows the WayRedefining Identity and Living an Artful LifeWhat do you say when someone asks you to introduce yourself?

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, form...2024-02-1444 min

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. But as we re-evaluate how work is working in the wake of the pandemic, we wanted to ask a different question: What purpose does work serve in our lives? In other words, what do we want work to do for us?

In 2020, we heard a lot about “decision fatigue.” 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? Kimbe...2022-06-1423 min
