What’s one thing you’re learning right now — professionally or personally?

Having retired from Accenture after 30 years, I'm learning that it IS possible to take a deep breath and reset before taking on the next chapter.
 

In your view, what makes a truly effective board member?

Board members should, by definition, bring the requisite skills needed to their directorship. An effective board member, however, also brings experience and emotional intelligence. This is where relationships and trust are built, creating space for conversations that might not otherwise appear.
 

Beach, mountains, city, or countryside — what’s your ideal getaway?

Mountains

What’s a small daily habit that makes a big difference for you?

I'm a list maker. I find it freeing to write it down (sometimes multiple times) so that my brain is available to think about solutions rather than the task list.
