Resilience

October 1, 2026 Skip 00:20:30 0 Comments

I’ve been thinking about resilience and what it means when life doesn’t go the way we expected. We often describe resilience as our ability to bounce back, but I’m not sure it’s always that simple. Sometimes we adapt. Sometimes we change direction. Sometimes we ask for help. Sometimes we simply need to pause. In this episode, I explore how our emotions, circumstances, relationships and values can shape the way we respond to difficult moments. Maybe resilience isn’t about returning to who we were before. Maybe it’s about understanding where we are, deciding what matters, and continuing toward who we’re becoming.

Unappreciated and Undervalued

September 15, 2026 Skip 00:18:02 0 Comments

Have you ever felt undervalued or unappreciated? I know I have.

In this episode of Imagine The Possibilities, I explore what those two feelings might be telling us about ourselves. We’ll talk about the difference between being valuable and being indispensable, how years of experience can make difficult things look easy, and why appreciation may be happening around us in ways we don’t always recognize.

I’ll also introduce something I call a reverse bucket list—a simple way to look at what we’ve accomplished, what we’ve learned, who we’ve helped, and the difference we’ve already made.

Because we’re not finished.

Courage

When I think about courage, I often picture extraordinary acts—people facing danger or risking themselves for someone else. But I’ve come to believe courage is much more personal than that. Sometimes courage appears in the ordinary moments of our lives: admitting we were wrong, having a difficult conversation, starting something new, or simply taking the next step when we’re uncertain about where it will lead. In this episode, I explore how courage, fear, experience, judgment, and our values work together. Maybe courage isn’t determined by what we do. Maybe it’s determined by what doing it requires of us.

Character

In this episode we’re exploring something that quietly shapes who we are becoming: character. I’ve come to believe that character isn’t built in one great moment. It’s formed one choice, one decision, and one act at a time. I share lessons I learned from two important people in my life—my dad and my friend and mentor, Bob—and how their examples taught me about integrity, respect, humility, and doing right in our lives. I also revisit my “bent nail theory” and ask a simple question: How do the people around us experience our character?

Purpose

What if purpose isn’t something we find, but something we recognize? In this episode I’ll be reflecting on the thread that has quietly woven its way through my life—from IBM leadership and mentoring to teaching, learning, and investing in others. Looking back I have discovered that purpose wasn’t hiding at all; it had been walking beside me the whole time. I hope this conversation will invite each of you to reflect on your own journey, recognize the thread running through your lives, and consider what purpose may be inviting you to do next.

Who Am I?

A few weeks ago, we began our journey of becoming. In this episode, let’s slow down for a moment to ask a question that most of us have asked at one time or another: Who am I? Throughout our lives we collect titles and labels, but do they really define us? Through a few stories from my own life, I’ve come to believe that who we are is revealed far more by our character and our relationships than by any title we ever hold. I hope this conversation encourages you to spend a little time reflecting on your own answer.

Becoming

Over the past few days I’ve found myself reflecting on a simple conversation that unexpectedly changed the way I look at my own life. As I replayed that conversation, I began to see that every success, every failure, every blessing, and every challenge had been quietly shaping who I was becoming. In this first episode of Season 5, I’d like to share that journey with you. My hope is that as we explore these ideas together, you’ll begin looking at your own story through a new lens and discover that perhaps the greatest journey isn’t about achievement—it’s about becoming.

Taking Care of Yourself

Sometimes the most important lessons come from experiences we’d rather not have.

Today we’re talking about a recent health scare that began with side effects from cancer treatment, led to a frightening episode of weakness, confusion, and low blood sugar. What seemed like something minor quickly became a situation that could have ended very differently.

Today I want to share the dangers of ignoring warning signs, the importance of seeking medical help when something feels wrong, and why taking care of ourselves is not a sign of weakness — it’s a responsibility we owe to ourselves and those who love us.

Technology and AI

Artificial Intelligence is everywhere. Some people see it as the next great technological breakthrough, while others view it with caution and concern. In this episode of Imagine the Possibilities, we’ll reflect on my lifetime of technological change—from the early days of personal computers and smartphones to today’s rapidly evolving world of AI. Drawing on my own personal experiences, including my cancer journey and decades in the technology industry, we’ll explore the difference between information, understanding, and wisdom. More importantly, discover a question that may matter more than any other: as technology continues to evolve, what will we become?

Dreamers and Doers

May 15, 2026 Skip 00:15:17 0 Comments

Some of us dream about what could be. Others feel most alive when they’re taking action. But what if most of us are actually both?

In this episode I reflect on the space between dreaming and doing — and why the distance between the two may not be as large as we think. Through personal stories, reflections on the Wright brothers, and thoughts about belief, growth, and understanding, this episode explores how dreams are shaped… and how they shape us in return.

Maybe success isn’t about leaping forward.
Maybe it’s simply about taking the next step.
