Inspired in motion
Where travel sparks perspective and progress.
Inspiration doesn’t always strike at a desk. Sometimes it shows up on a winding trail, a quiet train ride, or a table set for two in a place you’ve never been before.This blog is a collection of travel-inspired stories sparked by the places I go and the moments in between. Travel has a way of sharpening perspective, nudging curiosity, and reminding us to see things differently. Along the way, I’ve found that the lessons learned on the road often mirror the ones we navigate at work. Adaptability. Clarity. Courage. Connection.
My hope is that these stories spark something for you too and offer insights you can carry back into your own work and into whatever journey comes next.
Cast. Connect. Catch.
I walked into a weekend with a group of people I’d never met before and left with something unexpected.
A reminder that building relationships often starts the same way.
With a little hesitation.
A deep breath.
And the willingness to step in anyway.
A fly-fishing trip in Colorado sparked a reflection on work, trust, and why connection fuels results.
Japlan and Flex
We planned our Japan trip down to the details. Trains. Temples. Disney Sea.
And the best moments? They weren’t on the itinerary.
This trip reminded me that the same thing is true at work. Planning matters, but flexibility is what creates momentum.
I call it Japlan and Flex.
Chart Your Course
This one’s been sitting with me since the cruise, a reflection on journeys, choices, and the beauty of not always knowing what’s next.
What do an Amtrak train, a glacier at sunrise, and a silent disco have in common?
They all taught me something about work.
Turns out, careers are a lot like cruises.
You pick your ports.
You sign up for excursions that make your stomach flip.
And sometimes…you dance in unexpected places.
