In Japan, silence isn’t awkward—it’s understood. It holds weight.
Back in the U.S., I realized silence could be a superpower. In meetings, in conversations, people rush to fill the space, but when you hold back and let the silence sit, people lean in. They even start to listen better themselves.

I relocate to Nice, France in the Winter, rekindling the life, friends & colleagues from when Nordstrom sent me here to lead marketing for the French brand they bought called Façonnable. (It was the French Ralph Lauren.) Each year life in Nice gets better and better.
