This is bound to bring some joy to your day. Everything about it is delightful.

(And the engineering is amazing.)

Alt...Two women wearing hijabs in a backyard with bright green grass. It is well-lit in the blackness of night. One is riding an exercise bike that is moving a chain connected to a mini pink roller coaster, where the second woman is sitting in a coaster cart. They are laughing while the rider is hoisted up to the top of the hill, before dropping into the small round of the full coaster. Behind them, many children are playing on some swinging toys in a unique, seemingly-homemade, and well-lit playground structure of some sort.

    If you need some joy in your day, this is my gift to you. John Batiste is a gem of a human being. He is also massively talented.

    In this interview from 2023 with Chris Wallace, John talks about the limitations genres put on music. And THEN he genre hops through part of a Beethoven piece on the fly.

    It’s so good. And Chris’ face is priceless. He’s almost giddy.

    Alt...John is a good-looking young Black man with with robustly-styled dreadlocks. He is wearing a tan suit coat, partially open over a low-cut white t-shirt. He’s sitting at a piano in what appears to be a small studio setting. Chris is a middle-aged white man with simple glasses. He’s wearing a suit with a bright-red pocket square over a solid-blue dress shirt and a striped tie.

      A quick pause for reflection:

      A) what does a tree, materially, produce?

      B) what's great about trees?

      … Feel the difference?

      Ok, now let's get back to your question about performance reviews …

        I often work with folks who are changing jobs, or considering a change.

        It's a fertile time to reflect & design a way forward, to get more of what you want & need.

        But also: finances may be precarious. So I offer to customise your payment schedule, to match your situation. 

        Start here: a free hour of coaching! You can see what coaching with me is like, no pressure to continue. 1 hour may be all you need!

        I'd love to help you find more joy:
