If I can help people accomplish more than they thought possible, I'm happy. I have a few things to say about what makes for a fulfilling career and why our traditional thinking is wrong-headed. I spent 25 years with Allegis Group, the last six serving as president of the global staffing and services company. Since wrapping up my time there, I've taught classes at Duke University, guest lectured at several other schools (St. Gallen's, West Virginia, American), and written a regular LinkedIn blog. I speak on a range of topics, including digital transformation, the future of work, leadership, AI, change management, analytics, and the role businesses should play in reshaping our world. I can't whistle, haven't finished Ulysses, and often think I should learn to tie better knots. I believe in the Oxford Comma and vow never to shop in grocery stores run by people who don't know the difference between "fewer" and "less." Convenience wins, though. I look away from the "20 Items or Less" sign when I move toward the self checkout.I'm a husband of almost 30 years and father to three kids who happen to be really cool human beings (even if they continue to roll their eyes at any attempt I make at a joke. I also work for Leo, our Newfoundland, who keeps me on my toes.

Every January 1st, I read John Gardner's "Self Renewal" speech, and every January 1st, I marvel at his beautiful articulation of this one-way cruise. 

"Meaning is something you build into your life. You build it out of your own past, out of your affections and loyalties, out of the experience of humankind as it is passed on to you, out of your own talent and understanding, out of the things you believe in, out of the things and people you love, out of the values for which you are willing to sacrifice something."

Thirty-five years old and more relevant than ever. Give it a read...
