About this Event
Join me for a special evening as we celebrate the launch of The Sacred Cubicle—a book born out of years of leading, coaching, and walking alongside incredible colleagues who have shaped my journey. This isn’t just a book launch; it’s a reunion. A gathering of friends, coworkers, and fellow leaders who have shared in the challenges and joys of bringing purpose to our workplaces.
Why This Book Matters
I wrote The Sacred Cubicle because I believe work is more than a place where we earn a paycheck—it is a mission field, a calling, a place where we make a difference in this world. For years, I’ve seen firsthand how embodying goodness can transform workplaces into places of impact, growth, and even healing. I have also seen firsthand how toxicity can enter the workplace and change everything. Let's bring the goodness back!
This book is dedicated to the great people I have had the privilege of working for-The frontline team I led for more than 20 years. The book is packed with stories of co-workers, leaders, and mentors who have made a difference in the workplace.
What to Expect at the Event
• Meet & Mingle – Reconnect with former coworkers and friends in a warm, welcoming environment.
• Author’s Remarks & Excerpts – I’ll share a bit about why I wrote this book and read a few passages that capture its heart.
• A Toast to Purpose & Mission – We’ll raise a glass to the success of The Sacred Cubicle and to all of us who are working with purpose.
• Book Signing & Discounted Copies – Signed copies will be personalized and available for purchase at a special launch price. (Cheaper than Amazon!)
• Light Refreshments – Enjoy good conversation over drinks and small bites as we celebrate together.
• An Invitation to live the mission and change your workplace, community or home
This book is about you—the dedicated professionals, the servant leaders, the ones who bring faith into action every day. I would be honored for you to join me in launching this book and furthering the mission of bringing goodness, love, and purpose into the workplace.
I can’t wait to celebrate with you!
This event is for anyone who wants to explore the deeper meaning of work and celebrate the launch of The Sacred Cubicle with a community of like-minded professionals. Whether you’re a former colleague, a leader in your field, or someone searching for renewed purpose in your work, you are welcome!
I'm especially excited about seeing all of you who are:
• Healthcare Technology Alumni – If we’ve worked together at Dignity Health, CommonSpirit Health, Ascension, Dell or beyond, I would love to reconnect and celebrate with you!
• Leaders & Professionals Seeking Purpose – Those who want to explore their work as a calling and learn how to bring faith and mission into their daily roles.
• Anyone Feeling Burned Out – If you’ve lost the joy in your work and need encouragement, inspiration, and practical ways to reconnect with your purpose, this event is for you.
• Pastors & Ministry Leaders – If you’re looking for ways to help your church operate on mission in the marketplace and equip your congregation to live out their faith at work, this conversation will be meaningful.
