She is the Chief Strategy Officer of Kiingo AI, a recent graduate of the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, and a neurodiversity self advocate!

It's A [Boston] Marathon, Not A Sprint

I'm back! I've been training for the Boston Marathon for the last few months. Preparing for this race has given me the opportunity to reflect on my own state of mind: Being prepared with the right tools to succeed, having to manage unknown and unpredictable situations, creating resilience when things go sideways, and developing a plan to ace the course. If this sounds familiar to your personal workplace journey, this is the episode for you. Discover insights on pacing, resilience, and preparation that apply to both running and overcoming workplace challenges. If you want to track me on the day of the race, I am bib 7937. Use the Boston Athletic Association app to track me as I make my way through the course!
