I’ve been writing professionally since I was 16, when my first article appeared in a national newsletter for teens. By my 30s I was writing an award-winning newspaper column that ran in 75 newspapers. My work has appeared in dozens of academic journals and lots of magazines and media outlets.
My latest book, Biohacking Leadership: Leveraging the Biology of Behavior to Maximize Your Impact (Wiley), brings together insights from neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and behavioral science to reframe how we understand executive presence and influence. It’s the first in a trilogy that explores how we can optimize leadership, teams, and organizations through the lens of biology and behavior.
I also co-authored Strategic Doing: Ten Skills for Agile Leadership (Wiley), which continues to shape how groups collaborate to tackle complex challenges.
You’ll find many of the ideas I explore in my books developed in real time through my columns for Forbes and Fast Company. That’s where I share emerging insights, research, and practical guidance for those navigating today’s complex leadership environments.
More media, interviews, and writing projects are on the way as I continue partnering with organizations and publications to share this work more broadly.
