ABOUT
Porcupine Talk is a blog that shares thoughts and ideas that poke at the status quo. While some readers may find some ideas a bit prickly, the intent of this blog is to get us thinking about new ways to live, work, and lead. My apologies to those who were hoping to learn or discuss something about porcupines.

By trade, I am a full-time executive coach. For over two decades, I've worked with and observed good and bad leaders, and everything in between. I took a rather unconventional path to become an executive coach. As a former physicist, my career started out in academia, but then took a turn toward management consulting. Along the journey, I found myself questioning the leaders I was following and the organizations I was a part of. This led me to consulting work focused on improving organizations, building talent, developing leaders, and eventually coaching executives at one of the top consulting organizations in the world.

If you question the norm like I do, and believe we can learn to be better leaders and better humans, I think you will enjoy this blog. Thanks for reading.

Keep poking at it. It will move.
