When you follow a leader, consider what would lead you to withdraw your support.

If the answer is nothing, your integrity is in jeopardy. Our highest loyalty belongs to principles, not people.

No leader deserves unconditional love. Commitment is earned through character.

I’ve written for Alliance magazine on how social investment in community-led approaches can promote health equity and prevent ill health.

We need to invest in what matters: people, communities, and prevention.

Intelligence depends on more than cognitive horsepower. It requires cognitive flexibility.

The faster the world evolves, the greater the cost of rigidity. Stubbornness is a path to getting trapped in the past.

The future belongs to those with the courage to change their minds.

Weekend pace: Started with a chocolate-dusted cappuccino, picked up some sunflowers to brighten my home, & blended a little sunshine - orange, grapefruit, mint + ice. Simple pleasures.

Sometimes the small things do the heavy lifting.
