Transformation blog
Over the years I’ve worked with many companies and leaders to transform and grow. I’ve seen many things that worked, many things that didn’t. The one thing I know is there is always something to learn. Here I share some thoughts and experiences, mainly to share insights that may be helpful, but also for my own reflection. They say that “writing is thinking” and I find that to be true.
I first published some of these posts on LinkedIn.
