A few of the exercises I use with clients, open to anyone. Use them before we meet, between sessions, or entirely on your own. What you type stays in your browser. Nothing is sent to me unless you choose to send it.
Things I find myself recommending more than once.
Ethan Mollick's field notes on working with AI. Rare writing that is both early and sensible.
Anthropic's quietly practical essay on agent design. I send it to every team that says the word "agentic".
Daily AI news filtered for signal. How I keep up without doomscrolling.
Small systems beat big resolutions. The book I have gifted most often.
Vulnerability as courage, not weakness. Required reading for anyone who leads, parents, or begins anything new.
Chris Voss on negotiation as empathy: tactical listening that works as well in a boardroom as in a hostage call.
Where I'm training. The model holds people as naturally creative, resourceful and whole, which changes everything.
Michael Bungay Stanier's seven questions, which turned my managerial advice-giving into actual curiosity.
Mark Manson on choosing what to care about. Crude title, surprisingly careful thinking about values.
Steven Bartlett's long-form interviews, with business as a window into how people actually work.
Honest conversations about identity and becoming, from a founder who asks the questions that matter.
On bringing whole humans to work. The quiet shift I want more leaders to take seriously.
