Leadership isn’t about tiles Its about having the courage to pivot and lean into what truly makes you come alive.

Creative Cocktail Gifts

For a birthday: Was there a cocktail that your friend or partner loved at a restaurant? Or a dish they particularly loved? Pick up all the ingredients to make it, and write on the note “Remember how much fun we had that night at ____.”

For a small-gesture or “I’m thinking of you” gift: The single-batch cocktail. I’ll never forget that time during the early days of Covid when my friend Sonya batched a single-serve Elderflower Vesper for me in a jam jar (1 ounce vodka, 1 ounce gin, 1 ounce Lillet Blanc, 1/2 ounce St-Germain elderflower liqueur, lemon or orange twist) and left it on my doorstep.

 Movement & Expression


Art becomes a language when words are not enough. Through dance, rhythm, and color, communities find freedom to express pain, joy, and hope. Movement reminds us that resilience is alive in our bodies.

To tip or not to tip

“Tips to counter help — don’t! No matter how sad … they get or no matter the revenge the next time they see your cheap face, no tips to counter staff who turn around, pick a bagel, put it in a bag and take your money. No! Stop it! Remove the tip jar!” tip or not to tip –Wayne Cesaro

On the other hand, diners say you absolutely should tip servers at sit-down restaurants. 

“Overtip and do it in cash if you can,” Chad Thomas, of Bellevue, wrote. “I will tell my server in advance that I am leaving the tip empty on the credit card but I will be leaving it in cash, so don’t freak out when you see zeros in the tip line.”

Jake Bean, of Seattle, says he tips based on the service received. “Bad service? Don’t be surprised at 10%. Great service? Don’t be surprised at 30%.” And if service charges are included, there shouldn’t be an additional option to tip, he added.

Entrepreneur

The collection of traits needed to build a company is very different from the set of qualities required to lead.
