Newsletters

Purposeful Third Act Notes is a monthly newsletter grounded in my purpose: to unlock human potential and build inclusive prosperity. In it, I share ideas and experiences to inspire people to think and act differently, making work, leadership and life more human—not less.

Drawing on conversations with leaders, what I’m seeing change in the world around us, and my own career and life lessons, I offer practical insights and personal reflections. Together, we explore leadership and work in a world shaped by AI, the elevated impact of HR, and how to design Third Acts rich in impact, learning, and joy.
