I look fab, eh?
My new book is done!
It’s been months of anticipation.
I got help from wonderful people.
And love what my artist, David Zinn, created!
The Lazy Leader’s Guide to Outrageous Results takes on the martyr culture in volunteer leadership.

And complains that no one wants to [...]

I’m curious…
I recently attended a chapter meeting for business owners.

We are just coming off more than a year of [...]

I hopped out of [...]

It’s all [...]
