So well-deserved. Ms. Pla has transformed our theatre program. It is an honor to call her my colleague.

@brianmilam1973 Sidney said “the crew cried. They have seen everything. Have never seen a crew cry.” Katherine Hepburn’s reaction once you know this story is heartbreaking.

[Tom Mendoza @TomMendozaTalks]

Sidney told me a story about Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner. Spencer Tracy was very ill (died 16 days after filming). To get it funded, he guaranteed his estate would pay if he died during filming. His final speech was actually his goodbye to Katherine Hepburn. Everyone cried.

My son, Alex Jacobs, just had his first oped published. May I just brag for a minute? “We need to do more than trust the science” https://t.co/Tdf6n03Pqe

Let us not return to what was normal, but reach toward what is next.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Writing is more than a vehicle for communicating ideas. It's a tool for crystallizing ideas.

Writing exposes gaps in your knowledge and logic. It pushes you to articulate assumptions and consider counterarguments.

One of the best paths to sharper thinking is frequent writing.

In this moment, so many decisions are complicated & difficult. Lots of conflicting opinions, thoughts, & feelings. #relationships have never been more important to #leadership. We may not agree, but if there is a relationship built on mutual respect, the outcome will be better.
