Would you like to have fewer regrets? When you do the autopsy on the action, the critical word you’ve said, or the less-than-polite email you fired off, are you ever uncertain how you behaved differently from your values or intention? How did you get away from the plan to love others to not seeming to love others?

How do we end up doing what we don’t want to do? Even saints struggle with this. A towering figure in the Christian faith, the apostle Paul, rambled…

A couple of months ago, we began a series of articles on ChatGPT, discussing its potential uses in our work and addressing common concerns about AI. I've been a tech junkie all my life. I'd spend hours as a kid flipping through popular science magazines at the library and built my first computer at 15 (it was a 486 IBM clone if that rings a bell!).

As a corporate finance leader, I got to work at 7:30 am and didn’t return home until 8 pm most nights.

Spring is around the corner and during this time of year nature is coming back to life, it's a time of renewal, rebirth, and self-reflection. For many cultures, spring is the start of the new year and an opportunity for resolutions and commitments. We often use these times of year to aspire to become a better version of ourselves and one of the things that can get in the way is self-sabotage. Self-sabotage refers to the intentional or unintentional behavior, thoughts,…
