A Personal Perspective: “The Tourist” vs “The Traveler”
I often find myself in discussion with people about their reason for travel.
Is it to engage in cultural exchange or to treat yourself to some relaxation abroad? Is it to eat all of the foreign cuisines you can or be pampered in an all-inclusive resort? Or, is it a mix of it all?
A Personal Perspective on The Quarter-Life Crisis: A Growing Professional Development Crisis
What is a quarter-life crisis? A quarter-life crisis can be defined as the period of time during a person’s mid-20s when they start to experience intense doubts about their professional and personal life. At the same time they may also face challenges with trying to become a perfect version of what success means to them.
Creating Mutual Understanding By Eliminating Communications Silos
Discussions about race in America are at an all-time high. If you look on television or scroll through your Facebook newsfeed there is a continued conversation on race relations in this country. Thousands of opinion pieces have come out in the wake of the most recent Presidential election and hundreds of television specials are dedicated to the subject of race in America and abroad.
A Letter from the Founder: Glass Ladder Group's "Why"
Lately, I have been pretty obsessed with the concept of "Why". Though this isn't a new concept to me, I have found myself asking the question, more often than ever before. I am also known for asking questions like, "to what end," or, "who cares." Although those questions are very powerful tools for motivating others and driving success there is something about "why" that gets to the core of not just the thing being done, but also the person who is doing it.
A Cultural Perspective on the Natural Hair Movement Around the World
Not all hair is created equal.
Hair in the black community has always been a controversial topic. Sadly, black women especially, know that the hair on their head is much more than, “just hair” and can be the target of oppression at work, school and many other places. In September 2016, Pretoria High School for Girls in South Africa was in the news because a group of students protested against the school’s hair policy. The school policy called for, “neat” hairstyles and forbid, “eccentric” hairstyles which equated to the black girl's natural hairstyles in the school.
We live in a time of constant connection—yet many people have never felt more disconnected. As digital tools reshape how we work, communicate, and lead, a quiet crisis is emerging: the erosion of genuine human connection. From remote workplaces to AI-driven interactions, the speed and scale of digitization often leave little room for empathy, nuance, or shared presence.
But restoring connection isn’t about resisting technology—it’s about rebalancing it.
At Glass Ladder Group, we believe that human-centered strategy is the antidote to digital fatigue. Whether it’s rethinking how teams collaborate, how leaders show up, or how institutions communicate their values, restoring connection requires intentional design. Because in a world where attention is fragmented and trust is fragile, organizations that prioritize real relationships—not just reach—will lead with greater impact.
