leadership vision

I don’t believe joy and seriousness are opposites. Our hardest health challenges are heavy, and moving them takes stamina and heart. I try to lead so lightness travels with us to move the heaviest work. Playfulness isn’t a distraction; it’s part of thoughtful, lasting work. Joy doesn’t cheapen the work; it sustains it.
