Dignity is a practice.

About Matthew

How leadership is experienced, not how it is intended.

I've spent twenty-five years inside large organizations, most of them banks — the first half leading teams, the second in enterprise HR. Long enough to watch how decisions land on the people they get made about, and to notice how rarely anyone finds out. My graduate work at Pepperdine was on disclosure and belonging at work, which is another way of saying I've been circling this for a while.

I'm a North Carolinian, married to my husband, Jonathan, and this project is my ongoing practice of looking closely at what people actually carry out of the rooms we lead them through.
