After years of navigating leadership in education, nonprofits, and mission-driven spaces, I found myself coming back to the same questions again and again:
- How do we lead with clarity when things are uncertain?
- How do we stay grounded in our values while making hard decisions?
- How do we lead with care—not just for others, but for ourselves too?
These questions became the starting point for something I didn’t expect: a book.
I’m both honored and a little nervous to share that Reflective Leadership: 365 Daily Affirmations for Clarity, Courage, and Contribution is now available.
This book is a daily companion—designed for leaders who are doing meaningful work in complex systems and want to lead with intention. Whether you’re in higher ed, public service, nonprofit work, or any role that calls you to care deeply and act wisely, I hope this helps.
Each day includes:
- A focused affirmation
- A brief reflection rooted in lived experience
- A question to support your own discernment
It’s grounded in values like mindfulness, integrity, service, and courage—many drawn from Jesuit and Buddhist leadership traditions, but written in fully secular language so it’s accessible to anyone.
I wrote this book not because I had answers, but because I needed something to return to—daily practices to help me lead in alignment with who I am. If you’ve ever needed that too, this might be for you.
