What’s the problem? July 31, 2014. Like most people of my Generation (GenX), I’ve had a lot of different jobs.

It’s easy to find examples of what companies are doing wrong micromanaging employees, burning out workers, stifling innovation, the list goes on. But now I’m looking for examples of what companies are doing. I’m setting up short (30 min.) phone interviews with managers at companies that. Foster innovation and creativity. Make employees happy and engaged. Use specific methods or management hacks to improve collaboration, motivation, and morale.

What’s the problem? Exquisite Insanity: Moms Who Write. August 4, 2015. I spoke on a panel a few weeks ago at the Bay Area Book Festival. The panel was moderated by local literary icon, Michelle Tea. (If you need an escape, her latest book, “How to Grow Up”. Will make you laugh out loud.). The authors on the panel represented a range of genres (from children’s books to literary fiction to non-fiction) but we all had two things in common: love for our kids, and a burning desire to write.

What’s the problem? How does The Man do it? March 19, 2010. Horace, Ive been meaning to ask you.At what age do you stop cutting up their grapes?

What’s the problem? My New Year’s Resolution. January 8, 2015. Every New Year’s Eve, after the kids go to bed, Brian and I read to each other from our journals. We’ve been doing this for 13 years.
