About

I spent decades navigating corporate life — building teams, driving outcomes, managing complexity. For a long time, that version of me made sense. Until it didn't.

When I stepped away, I wasn't chasing reinvention. I wasn't looking to write a book. I just needed space. At first, it felt indulgent. Then disorienting. Then… something else.

Do Nothing came out of that space — not as a project, but as a record. Of what surfaced. Of what stayed with me. Of what I was still carrying.

It's built on lived experience, not expertise. On curiosity, not conclusions. And while the writing began in the absence of full-time work, it's not really about retirement.
It's about what happens when the noise quiets — and you're left with
whatever's underneath.

This book wasn't written to tell anyone what to do. It was written to name what I noticed. To hold still. To see what happens when we stop filling in all the blanks.

I didn't write it to be understood. But if it helps someone see themselves a little more clearly — or feel a little less alone — I'm glad it found its way to them.
