Hey there -

I woke up the other morning, and it was 61 degrees out. If that doesn’t signal the coming of Fall, I don’t know what does. I will be sad when summer officially departs and the days get shorter, but I do love a good blustery Fall day! Here are a few reads for you regardless of the weather in your neck of the woods. 

Fun Stuff Around the Web

25 Best Documentaries (according to The Hollywood Reporter)

Forbes's 2026 Edge List (if you’ve got money to burn and love to travel!) 

Perfect Sentences - very fun Substack! 

The Booker Long List - if you need to find your next great read

Have a great week!

WORK WITH ME

If you're a senior leader who looks composed on the outside but feels like you're running version 1.0 of yourself in a version 2.0 role, we should talk.

Executive Coaching - For senior leaders who've earned the role but don't feel solid in it. The gap is costing you. Let's close it.

Corporate Leadership Development - Custom programs for your organization. Not off-the-shelf. Designed around what your people need.

Keynote Speaking - I speak to senior leadership teams about the foundation that makes everything else work: knowing yourself at a deeper level to lead at the next one.

If any of this sounds familiar, let's talk. [email protected] | 617-306-6037
