Time to Reclaim Human Dignity
This week’s blog is an exploration of the indignity so many people feel when dealing with the “system” these days, whether it’s healthcare, banking, or politics.
Nearly every organization and industry is desperately trying to push humanity out of the equation. But mark my words, the only organizations who will survive the wave of disruption are those who double-down on human connection. Who build a culture of belonging. Who make it a daily practice to say “I hear you, I see you, and I’m here for you – even if we don’t always agree.”
The human connection revolution is upon us. Don’t just join it — lead it.
The Value of Conversational Safety Nets

And yet, no one ever tells us what it is. No one ever really defines it.
The Beautiful Gift I Received At A Red Light
As Nicholas Epley once said, “Hardly anybody waves. But everyone waves back.” It doesn’t take much.

“Make Me Feel Important.”
This week I don’t have a blog for you, I just have a link. It’s Simon Cowell’s 2-hour long interview on popular podcast The Diary of a CEO, hosted by Steven Bartlett. There are dozens of treasures to be found in this deep, emotional, and extensive interview. But right around the 8:20 mark, Simon shares a piece of advice his father gave him when he was just 12 years old: “It was quite an odd thing to say to a 12-year-old. He said, “Everyone in life, Simon, has a sign on their head, and it says, “Make me feel important.””
