One theme that stood out was Obama’s advice for bridging gaps — something that feels especially vital in today’s fractured world.Continue Reading What President Obama Taught Me (Again) About Bridging Gaps

Last week, I woke up with a migraine and a heavy heart.

On average, a person engages in 145-200 interactions daily, both in-person and online. However, only 10-20% of these interactions are truly memorable.
