Today is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. It’s a day that doesn’t resonate with most people, and I am glad most people don’t know what the day means.

I’ve decided to rebrand the series of talks I’m giving the rest of the year.
Ignoring the rules you don’t like them while forcing everyone else to adhere to them is a case study of poor leadership.
I’ve worked with several non-profits, and while most were enjoyable and worthy organizations, I’ve seen a couple that suffered because they weren’t forthright.
