A Walk Along the Sammamish River with Joanne Clarke and Deb Cupp
Last week, I had the chance to walk 2.5 miles with Joanne Clarke and Deb Cupp by the Sammamish River when I was in town for the COS25 event at Microsoft in Redmond.
The Dialogue Miles™ walk was fun but also funny, personal, thoughtful, and full of care and intention. It was a much-needed break from a busy day, but more importantly, a time to connect and share personal stories about kids, vacations, and puppies. Here are some key takeaways from our time together:
Reflections from the Walk
Make Time
Even in a packed schedule, there is always space for meaningful relationship development.Mutual Respect
Respect creates the environment for people to grow, share, and show up fully.Understand What Matters
When you take the time to understand what matters most to someone, pressure tends to ease.Stay Efficient
A clear and thoughtful approach allows you to move faster and create real momentum.
It was a privilege to collaborate with such a dedicated team, thoughtful planning, infectious energy, and meaningful discussions all around. I'm truly grateful for the time spent together, both on the path and in our work.
