Southwest is one of my two airlines of choice and Herb is one of the primary reasons why. The culture he created and the attention to the values he wanted to embed inside of Southwest Airlines are legendary. https://t.co/EktIW3Hfu5

I wonder what people will say about the way we work 25 years from now. I continue to be curious about how our knowledge economy work habits are impacting our well-being. We knew when our body was done with physical labor. But what about our minds/psyche? https://t.co/kLPR0A13Mf

While this article is about therapy, I think the skill of holding space for someone is a critical part of leadership and being a good teammate. These competencies are a great starting point. #humanskills https://t.co/TikXTFzWMl

How can we shift our role as Leaders from one of “fixers” or “advisers” to a “witness?” “The human soul doesn’t want to be advised or fixed or saved. It simply wants to be witnessed — to be seen, heard and companioned exactly as it is.” ~Parker J. Palme https://t.co/iqUFNEdit0

Some thoughts on generosity and gratitude from one of my favorite teachers, Parker J. Palmer. I am grateful for those that have been so generous with me. May I always seek to do the same in return. #thanksgiving https://t.co/qhfquANAGB

Ultimately reputation is what people say about you. Legacy on the other hand what people remember about you. It’s about the difference you make on those around you, intentional and unintentional. #leadership https://t.co/JVD5eL5nh6

More and more I believe that as our world is changing and we are dealing with difficult social and health issues, that the responsibilities of employers are also changing. “If you want part of me at work, you get all of me.” https://t.co/XvsvKtK2X3
