I recently gave the closing keynote at a chapter of Meeting Professionals International (MPI); the theme was "Partnership".

My adventures in work/life balance

My latest article at CAMagazine: "Over the years, I’ve proudly proclaimed I would never be sucked into the always-on, always-connected vortex.
