When I left AT&T, people kept asking about my “retirement.”
The word never felt right...so I coined the term rewirement instead.
Not stopping. Just rewiring what’s next. 🔌✨
What does rewirement look like in this era of your life?

Profit and purpose aren’t opposites. They’re partners. Dove’s rise shows that when business goals align with social good, both thrive. When people connect to your mission, performance follows. 💡

I used to bring my laptop on every vacation. 💻☀️
I thought it showed commitment. But it just built burnout.
True leadership means modeling balance. Rest isn’t a reward. It’s a requirement. 🌊

34% of people feel more belonging at work than in their neighborhood or place of worship. 💬

Work isn’t just about what we do. It’s about where we connect.

What's the connection between inclusion and employee well-being?

Let’s stop saying “we’re like family at work.” 🛑
Workplaces aren’t families. They’re teams built on trust, respect, & camaraderie.
That’s how we create real belonging, without blurring boundaries. 💬

Ageism cuts both ways.

👩‍🦳 “Elders should move on.”
👩‍💻 “Young people don’t know enough yet.”

The truth? Judgment is the enemy of inclusion. Bigger leaders bring generations together. That’s where creativity and innovation thrive.

Exhausted at work but not from overwork? 😮‍💨 You might have boreout.

Boreout = underutilized potential + lack of purpose.

Leaders: preventing burnout isn’t enough. We need to design work that challenges & fulfills.

👧🏽 Life lesson I learned early: setbacks are inevitable, but resilience is a choice.

“Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you choose to react.”

That mindset helped me bounce back, persist through rejections, and build the grit that shaped my career. 💡

“Life is an optimization equation.” 📊

You can’t do it all at once. But you can choose what matters most:
1️⃣ Define your priorities.
2️⃣ Let them guide your choices.
3️⃣ Accept the consequences.

You can have it all. Just not all at the same time. 🌱

Why do we say “working moms” but not “working dads”? 🤔

Old norms taught women to hide being mothers at work. Bigger leaders challenge those norms and build workplaces where our family roles don't discount our commitment. 🌍

Back in the day, “happy hours” felt mandatory 🍷.

Now? Gen Z drinks less than any generation before them.
Leaders: let’s evolve our gatherings. Belonging ≠ alcohol. 🌱

PS: My old trick? Show up late, grab a tonic water, loop the room, leave in an hour. ✅

Panels too often become “man-nels.” Who you put on stage sends a message: you can’t be what you can’t see.
Bigger leaders share the spotlight inclusively. 🌍

All feedback welcome. 💌
True belonging means people feel safe to disagree, not just agree. Bigger leaders create risk-free ways to share feedback while ensuring respect is always the baseline.

Are you purposefully surrounding yourself with people who are better at different things than you? 💃🏽 Here's why you should.

Not perks. Not titles.

Tough day? Here’s your reminder: Adversity is a growth opportunity. 🌱
Bigger leaders don’t just push through challenges. They grow through them. Widening perspective, building resilience, & helping others rise. 💎

Let’s talk about boundaries. 🛑

Bigger leaders respect that boundaries differ for everyone & shift over time.

Trust > control.
Flexibility > policing.

Empowered teams perform better, where-/when-/how-ever they work.

Gen Z will be 1/3 of the U.S. workforce by 2030. And they’re changing what work means:

1️⃣ Purpose > paychecks
2️⃣ Flexibility > rigidity
3️⃣ Life comes first
4️⃣ Self-care is non-negotiable

Leaders: these aren’t trends. They’re a call to evolve.

#LeadBigger #TheRewiredCEO #GenZ #FutureOfWork

Leadership = aligning + motivating + inspiring people to achieve something bigger than themselves. 📌

And it’s a choice, one we make (and hope others make) every day.

💡 Bigger Leaders: People won’t (and shouldn’t) sacrifice their lives for their jobs.

It’s time to lead with flexibility.

Just a reminder:
Take care of yourself—mind, body, heart, and soul. 💙

Even the biggest leaders need moments to pause, breathe, and refill their tank.

Growth isn’t a destination—it’s both a mindset and a set of outcomes that are advanced by actions. 🌱

What parenting two Gen Z kids has reinforced for me:

🌀 Work is just part of life.
🌀 Be unapologetically you.
🌀 Purpose matters.

Being a mom has made me a better leader.

If your team didn’t exist, what would break? 🧐
Start there. That’s where purpose lives.
