✨ HAPPY 2024! Your Intention & Goal-Setting Gift is Here ✨
Hi Reader,
Happy solstice! It's the longest night and shortest day of the year here in San Francisco. As a pragmatic optimist, I love looking forward to the coming days which only get more light with each passing day.
Today, Irene Salter and I held our workshop on Creating Your 2024 Intention. We deliberately spent the first hour teaching actionable techniques that invoke introspection for 2023 as well as looking forward to 2024, including a mixture of neuroscience of goal-setting, identity-dreaming, and sketching/word-storming.
As a gift, I'm sharing the content from today's workshop so you can (re)experience them on your own should you be looking for a introspective session during this end of year period. If you've ever set (and lost track of) your New Year's resolutions instead consider taking 50 minutes and experiment with something different.

I'm grateful to the people who attended live today, and would be very appreciative if you could fill out this feedback form. I read every comment and we iterate our teaching based on the feedback.
If you're curious about my 2024 intention & roadmap — I ran out of time to share them today — you can read my very personal reflection. I am incredibly grateful for the life I have and the new adventures to come in 2024.
Wishing you space,
Tutti

Hi Reader, WTF, you might be thinking. Why is she already rushing us onto 2024? When I’m struggling right now and trying to simply get through the hecticness of December and crawl to the finish line of 2023. Or perhaps that’s my own inner critic talking? Wherever the voice comes from, I choose to embrace intention setting as a form of investing in my future self. And to respect calendars, I’m sending out this early invitation to join me and Irene Salter on December 21st so we can collectively...
Hi Reader, People often ask me how I transitioned my career out of design leadership into coaching. I tell them this story of working with my very first executive coach. About ten years ago, I was on the leadership team of a consulting company and the CEO gave me a harsh piece of feedback. We had high trust, so his message (eventually) resonated with me even as I felt the immediate sting of his words: “You’re smart, passionate and clients love you co-creating visions for their products. Yet...
Hi Reader, I’m often a know-it-all. I can pride myself in being a good problem solver and I also love gathering evidence and data so I can make informed decisions. This morning, I heard a beautiful reframing when one of the investors at a top venture capital firm told me that when evaluating founders, he looked for learn-it-alls. He described the founders as having intellectual honesty and a driven curiosity around their business and product. My jaw dropped and I realized that I’d just...
