Essays on power, positioning, and the work.
What's the Point of AI if the Planet Can't Run It?
Oracle just laid off thousands of people to fund a race it probably can't win.
AI is no good to us if the planet can't sustain running it. A tool that accelerates productivity while accelerating ecological breakdown is not solving the problem.
Women are just as ambitious. They are navigating a system that no longer rewards ambition.
80% of women want promotions. 86% of men do.
Ambition is intact. What's missing is influence over decisions, sponsorship when it counts, and protection from absorbing all the risk.
2026 Won't Open New Doors. Your Positioning Will.
Elevate your narrative now so opportunity can't overlook you.

The Real Barrier Between Senior Women and Senior Roles
A candid look at why talent alone won't secure the biggest roles.

The Hidden Defaults Changing Data Policy
What leaders need to know about LinkedIn, Claude, and the next wave of AI.
Your data is being claimed in ways you may not realize. Two platforms just changed their defaults so your information trains their AI unless you act.
The Gap Between Good Leadership and Enterprise-Level Leadership

Why 78% of companies are navigating without a compass, and what leaders need to know to stay in control.

Why You're Doing the Work but Not Getting the Role
