About

I am passionate about travel, great food, and being in the great outdoors. I am fascinated by Humanocracy and bureaucracy, organizational psychology and Agile . I am interested in the way we work because the last I checked, it’s the 21st century, and we still work much like the 20th century. Much of what I write will be topics I ponder, discuss with friends and strangers, have personally experienced, and what I read. I enjoy learning other perspectives and promote healthy dialogue.

Not another travel blog … Although, international travel helps me process my experiences and being around various cultures and languages nourish me. This is where I thrive, as well being in nature -hiking or cycling.

While on the Camino de Santiago, so much of what I believed and thought was disputed …. disrupted …

In 2018, my mom unexpectedly and tragically died after 13 hours of being admitted to the ER. It sucked the air out our lungs because she improved then crashed. Between that and where I was in my non-career, I felt despair. I saw two choices. Travel to heal. Or death to end the pain.

Clearly, I chose travel – I chose to walk the Camino with hundreds of others who set out everyday for their own personal journeys.

I am going to write about the structure of the workplace, management philosophy, transactional v. relational relationships at work and in general, words, what people want from work *and* life, Agile (disclosure: I am not an expert), and whatever comes up.

I will interview people, take surveys, inject my personal experiences, use research, and read authors who are discussing the overall despair in the world and how it is impacting the change people want (I am not getting into politics, though), and be agile.
