Had a great time participating at a panel with Jason Joseph on the executive playbook and CIO lessons you can’t learn from a framework. The panel was masterful facilitated by Tristin Huey.

Thanks for putting it all together Caleb Reimers

Another great West Michigan CEO Summit is in the books. So many wonderful stories, experiences and demonstrated leadership by the members of our community while the entire event was masterfully led by Meredith Bronk.

Reconnecting with colleagues across the community is always a time well spent.

When you’re faced with challenges and difficult decisions, you see who you are and what you’re made of.

I just witnessed greatness (once again) of my team and their leadership, determination and creativity.

I am beyond grateful and honored to be a part of this team.

Dangers of echo chambers.

Include other ideas and perspectives in your decisions, but own them as your own, once you have made them.

Jokic is now the first player in NBA history to get 3 MVPs stolen in 3 years

[Miloš Topić @topicm]

@BetMGM Yes, again!

NBA has officially destroyed the credibility of its own MVP award.
Nikola Jokic just became the first player in league history to get robbed of 3 MVPs in 3 consecutive years — not because he wasn’t the best player, but because the league needed a different storyline.

NBA stat leaders this season:

PPG: Luka
RPG: Jokic
APG: Jokic
BPG: Wemby
PER: Jokic
BPM: Jokic
VORP: Jokic

… so how is SGA the “MVP”?????????

If you speak for a living or you are frequently invited to deliver a keynote speech or be on a panel, please work on your skills and abilities.

Both verbal and nonverbal communication add to the quality of the content and the experience you are trying to convey.

Today is day 131 out of 365. That means that approximately 36% of the year is already behind us.

With this in mind, are you doing what you know you need to do to accomplish all those things you said you want to achieve in December and January?

The path is known. It requires clarity of purpose and priorities; focus of energy, attention, and effort; and most importantly, daily action. If those things still matter, action is a must.

AI and customer service.
How you use it matters, don’t simply check the box so that you can report to your shareholders how “innovative” your company is.

@piersmorgan What is “proper football?”

Btw, Arsenal won’t make it past Atletico. ⚽️

Higher education is at an inflection point.

Financial pressures, shifting demographics, and political headwinds are forcing institutions to rethink long-standing models, as outlined in this piece from The Chronicle of Higher Education .

Note: this is just the month of April: https://t.co/8JIBb5kH8E

From my vantage point, these challenges are deeply intertwined with how we leverage technology, data, and digital strategy to adapt and lead. The path forward isn’t just about cost containment, it’s about making intentional, mission-driven choices in how we invest, innovate, and serve.

This moment calls for courageous leadership grounded in realism about the constraints we face, yet optimistic about what’s possible when we align our digital capabilities with the transformative mission of higher education.

After all, education is the great equalizer and deserves our best thinking, efforts, and energy moving forward.
