I am...

A software manager looking for ways to make meetings matter, collaboration happen, and personalities work despite the limitations of an increasingly virtual workforce.

I blog about meetings, management, and mobile offices.

I live...

in Knoxville, TN with my husband, two dogs and too many cats, where I work from my too-quiet home office unless I'm in the living room, dining room, or wherever the sun is shining.

About Me

Having worked with virtual teams for almost a decade I'm constantly looking for better ways to help my teams get to know each other, get things done, get it right. In ten years we've seen our workforce shift from site-based teams to virtual collaboration, from water-cooler discussions to telephone conferences, from time clocks to Blackberrys.

Communication is now a skill more than a talent - one I work hard to build every day.
