Corporatology 007: The Theology of Interruption

This is about dethroning productivity as identity. Surrendering to interruption as a form of healing. Sometimes God doesn’t whisper “rest.” He dismantles your reason not to, and it feels violent.

Corporatology 006: Hail, Miranda

The most radical thing a leader can do during performance review season is not to abolish the process, but to refuse the gods behind it.

Called By Name

Starting something new doesn’t automatically mean I feel brave. Sometimes it just means I'm willing. Maybe I'm still standing in the winepress— even while taking the next step. And then this scripture surfaced, steady and unmistakable: “I have called you by name; you are mine.” — Isaiah 43:1

There's More

There’s a version of success that looks clean on paper and hollow in real life. The calendar fills. The goals get sharper. The wins get louder. And somehow—without a dramatic fall or a moral failure—you wake up realizing you’ve misplaced what mattered most.

Corporatology 005: The Gift of Goodbye

Sometimes God brings the storm not to destroy — but to move us toward ground we never would have chosen, yet deeply need.

Corporatology 004: Ceilings Made of Courtesy - Part II

God doesn’t waste endings. He rewrites beginnings. Mine starts by naming the rules I didn’t plan to break, but couldn’t keep. Well… let's be real, maybe I meant to break a few of them. After all, rules—like The Code—are more what you’d call guidelines. Parlay.

2026: KPIs with Martha & Mary

Resolutions aren’t foolish — they’re honest attempts to live better — but they collapse when they’re built on measurements that were never meant to carry the weight of our worth.

Advent Edition: The Gift of Being Present

I got mixed up and overconditioned. Thinking presence was production. I stayed on — hyper-responsive, always available, moving, ready. I rarely stopped — not even when someone came to my desk. I regret that.

Corporatology 003: James vs. The Corporate Ladder

Favoritism is the unofficial currency of the workplace. But we don’t call it favoritism. We call it visibility, potential, culture fit, executive presence, star talent. A curated vocabulary designed to ease the conscience while keeping the hierarchy intact.

Corporatology 002: The Architecture of a Cage

Structure without soul produces compliance, not conviction. It kills the whisper of calling and replaces it with checklists. The great irony is that it began with good intent — to make work easier, fairer, clearer.

A Month of Unmaking

Sure, it probably cost me my job, my position, my vision for what could have been… but it gave me something better: peace, clarity, and a spark.

Thanksgiving Edition: Burnout Blinds Us to Blessings

Burnout isn’t just “being tired.” It’s a full-scale operational failure of the mind, body, and soul — a quiet hemorrhaging of energy, clarity, purpose, and presence.

Corporatology 001: Corporate America Is Not Your Family

Real family doesn’t come with fine print. Real belonging doesn’t require self-erasure. And real identity doesn’t crumble when a system stops clapping.

Corporatology: Author's Note

Structure, for me, is not the enemy. It is the scaffolding that allows me to build calm in the storm. I’ve spent the last several years of my career inside the corporate machine.
