I am a “Three” on the Enneagram. If you talk to me for some time, I’ll probably bring up personality tests during our conversation (or I’m secretly ‘typing’ you in my head), because I unabashedly...

“Do you ever sleep?” is the most common reaction I get when people find out how many organizations I am involved in and how many leadership roles I juggle. I have a note on my phone that lists everything...
