Opinions

  • 'clarity changes everything' and professionals must move from being 'operators' to 'architects' of their own systems and careers
  • Critical of 'noise' and over-structuring in impact investing that slows down capital flows
  • Marketing, visibility, and 'being seen' are critical, underestimated pieces of professional success
  • Modern leadership burnout stems from 'caring deeply, for too long, without enough solid ground beneath you'
