Really looking forward to speaking at @IRE_NICAR's NICAR Conference next month. We'll be talking about better teams (my favorite) and generally working better with other humans (necessary, IMO).
👯 Relationships are the most important piece
Will I see you there?

🎙️ New episode out!
January gets sold as a “fresh start,” but for many leaders it feels heavy. In Episode 3 of the Leadership Wellbeing Series, we talk honestly about mental health, stigma, and leading without performative vulnerability.

Journalism is not a crime. Journalism, and journalists, must be protected as they seek and report the truth.
📢 Yesterday, @RTDNA & 31 other organizations condemned the government’s invasive raid on a Washington Post reporter’s home and seizure of materials. This is an attack on transparency & the public’s right to know.

Exceptionally grateful to be part of the community of 101 USA Obama Leaders. The work is rewarding, the connections are amazing and every once in a while, you get to have pretty amazing Zoom calls with former presidents. 📷
Thanks @ObamaFoundation for this amazing opportunity!
I can't get enough of these @RIASBerlin memories. What an amazing experience for journalism and humanity. The friendships, the understanding... I just can't share how incredible it was. Take me back!
