Really [Helping] With Seth and Amy
I teased the featured subjects of this post- Seth Meyers and Amy Poehler- late last week, and not just because we are just about a month away from the one year anniversary of Late Night with Seth Meyers’ premiere, or just over twenty four hours away from the final season premiere of Poehler’s vehicle Parks … Continue reading Really [Helping] With Seth and Amy
Mythbusters: Introverted Doesn’t Mean Impervious
Welcome to 2015 everybody, happy to be here! I am backlogged on a lot of business writing about introversion, which is in its own way a very good thing! Too few people have spoken about introversion in the past, which has led to its status as an enigmatic and mysterious way of being. If I'm … Continue reading Mythbusters: Introverted Doesn’t Mean Impervious
Two New Ways to “Have” THE I’S HAVE IT!
I'm excited to announce two new avenues for you to get the second edition of THE I'S HAVE IT, the 2014 book about introversion in student affairs from the talented Sue Caulfield and me.

Of particular interest to me: "One thing I think that educators should bear in mind: we allow adults all kinds of flexibility in terms of what kind of social … Continue reading How to teach a young introvert

One of the better articles I read this week focused on an interview Chris Rock gave to Vulture magazine in support of his new film, Top Five. This particular press tour has brought several interesting perspectives from Rock, but this one is of particular interest to those working with students in higher education. When asked … Continue reading Balancing Humor and Humanity
Live Show Review: FUFU AND OREOS
I don't know for a fact that Obehi Janice and I aren't related, but the facts seem to line up in many places. We both grew up in the US, the children of West African parents. Based on the stories told in her one-woman show Fufu and Oreos, we probably share some aunts and uncles (or, … Continue reading Live Show Review: FUFU AND OREOS
Banjos, Baldwins, and Big Questions
For the better part of the 2000s, I have assumed the machinations and motions of a normal human being while also following a band- well, a man, really- very closely. Not to the level of stalking, but...you know. Closely. For the uninitiated, this is Andrew McMahon. He is a piano player and singer who has … Continue reading Banjos, Baldwins, and Big Questions
Recognizing Real Life
A few of my coworkers and I have an ongoing reference circulating in our conversations: "Real Life [insert name of the individual]" (always said while clapping, one clap per word a la Kevin Hart). We use it to talk about what we're doing over the weekend, about our families, as well as how we may … Continue reading Recognizing Real Life
