Spring Break Writing Retreat Day 1 is in the books (literally)! I’m working on my next book, so this week I’ll be finding inspirational places to put pen to paper.

Today’s the day! One day, one question: Why do you lead?

Chairs of Gentelligence continued in chilly Chicago last week at the fabulous International Interior Design Association Roundtable. We discussed how design can help@us create spaces for better intergenerational collaboration and connection. And also, jaunty accessories.

Look at this amazingness from our Gentelligence discussion at the conference! was hard at work all day doing a graphic recording. Hoping someday this (or one just like it) can hang on my office wall! 😉

I love a good summer project (and a teleprompter)! We’ve just spent two amazing days down in Atlanta at digitally capturing all our new Gentelligence content. Zoom in to see the amazing generational set!

New headshots taken by one of my favorite former students and now friend , now owner of ! I have always found the photos taken by someone you truly love and enjoy spending time with turn out much more real. My team is happy they will not have to stare at the same exact headshot we have now used for like 5 years (but I had a great photographer for that one too, so I held onto it for a long time!). Also I now want to move into the as it is amazing.

Had so much fun doing a headshot photo shoot this morning at the in downtown Cincinnati with my new photographer (who is also my former student, how’s that for a full circle moment??). It’s important to say that I will now be moving into the Mercantile Library and living there forever. If my personality was a space, it would be this library. Old books! Heavy old furniture! Sculpture! Chalkboard Dewey decimal system! Beautiful chairs! Architectural staircases! Swoon.

Getting ready to go live on this morning! We’ll be talking about generational norms in texting (the topic people can’t seem to get enough of). Woke up without a voice (first time ever) so this interview is brought to you by cough drops, tea and honey, and sheer determination
