Only Love Can Save Us Now
We’ve been playing with the power of dedication throughout my training. Simple experiments to see what happens when what I do is no longer for me, or my desires, but for someone else – to relieve their pain or to show them my gratitude or love. “What would you do if your best friend asked …

Moment #7: Getting Clear On What Held Me Back
Age: 24 I had just joined lululemon and I was on development overdrive. The Leadership Development team that I was joining was completely transitioning, with the three existing members being replaced by me and two others that would be hired later that quarter. Needless to say, there was lots to learn, experience, shadow, and execute …
