Way back in 1986, R&B sensation Jermaine Stewart told the world that “we don’t have to take our clothes off, to have a good time, oh no.” Instead, he urged everyone to “dance and party, all night, and drink some cherry wine, a-ha.” We agree with Jermaine that intimacy can take several shapes, not all…
The relationship between mothers and daughters is complex. Sometimes, there’s no stronger connection. Other times — especially during those turbulent teenage years — mother-daughter relations can be an uphill battle. But, no matter where you are on the roller coaster, the bond — whether forged through nature or nurture — is undeniable, and a simple…

Are you a group person? I never was. Until recently. At first, my individualism bias was by chance more than choice. I was an only child for the first eight years of my life, and truth be told, I liked it. I didn’t have to compete with anyone for attention and had a default for…
Business books often speak of a “knowing-doing gap” to explain performance failures: leaders understand which strategies to implement, but they can’t seem to execute them well. With purpose, most leaders don’t even know what it means to pursue a purpose fully, much less how. Influenced by experts who extoll purpose’s benefits for the enterprise, they’re…
