I have a 13 year old son, which basically means I’m getting unsolicited feedback on my leadership style all the time. BELIEVE ME: He’s made it very clear how he views my performance in the organization.

“Angie, this place is a @#!!**$$ freak show!” That was one of the exclamations my dad used when he dropped me off at the University of Michigan my freshman year. I grew up in a rural community. He wasn’t used to all the tie dye, hair dye, and the “I look like I want to … Learn More

We’re at the end of 2023. I’m in goal setting mode right now. But if you know me, you know I’m never really out of goal setting mode. It can be annoying, or at least that’s what I’ve been told by select members of my family. When we go on vacation, I have vacation goals. … Learn More
I typically don’t play the lotto, but not too long ago I bought a PowerBall ticket. At dinner, I put the ticket on the table and my kids and I spent 30-minutes dreaming about what we’d buy if we hit the jackpot. My youngest son went first: he wanted a trampoline, hoverboard, and a bubblegum … Learn More
My youngest son likes to take the surprise out of gift giving. From now until Christmas Eve, every day I’ll get a text from him with a hyperlink to an item … most likely shoes.

I eavesdrop when I’m on airplanes. Not intentionally, I just can’t help but overhear things! One recent conversation captured my attention … It was a woman talking with her sister on a cell phone (pre-flight). They were planning this elaborate Thanksgiving meal and it sounded incredible.
