The Gut Check: Your pulse on intuition, strategy, and decisive leadership. Hi Reader, I've been noticing how intuition and strategy weave together throughout summer. Summer invites space.

It's the kind of busy that’s deeply meaningful and invites reflection. So I stepped back. Not because I didn’t have anything to say, but because I wanted to hear myself think. It’s my...
