With a heavy heart & huge gratitude for the life & work of Ed Schein. He passed suddenly & painlessly, after a day of work with his son. His work is foundational for those in helping relationships with leaders & organizations in change & transition & will continue to be. RIP, Ed.

And lo! There was more to discover about work-from-home awesomeness: vacuuming on my lunch break! I am a devoted but enthusiastic Saturday morning vacuumer who never tried another schedule. Converted.
