The wonder of the season - what if it’s not just something we see, but something we practice?

Not a catchphrase or sentiment. A daily discipline.

This week: light through our prism landed here. “A Great Day in Harlem.” Last thing off the wall, first thing up, every move we’ve made.

57 jazz musicians. One Harlem stoop. 1958.

I’ve looked at this photo thousands of times. But the rainbow stopped me in my tracks - and gave me an opportunity to appreciate it even more. The deep joy and awe I feel whenever I look at this image. The history. These musicians. All that creative genius, in one frame.

That’s what wonder does. It lets you revisit what was always there - but sometimes less visible to your own hurried eyes.

I didn’t plan this moment. But I caught it - because I’ve spent years strengthening my ability to notice everyday wonder. The more you practice, the more available it becomes.

Not just for photographs. For creativity. For solving hard problems. For reconnecting to what actually matters when everything feels urgent.

Nobody’s saying it out loud in the meeting.

But I’m hearing it everywhere in my coaching conversations with women executives:

“I’m not sure what my role even is anymore.”

“I feel like I’m supposed to have an AI strategy and I’m just… figuring it out like everyone else.”

“What if the thing I’ve spent 20 years mastering becomes irrelevant?”

Here’s what I want you to know:

You’re not behind. You’re not alone.

The disorientation you feel is a natural response to all of this rapid change.

What’s rarely acknowledged? This disorientation can be incredibly useful.

Leaders who insist they have it all figured out are running old playbooks in a new landscape.

The ones who can sit inside “I don’t know yet” without spiraling - who can stay open and present - are the ones who’ll see what others miss.

If you feel the ground shifting beneath you, it means you’re paying attention.

That’s not weakness. That’s awareness - and it’s the beginning of a new kind of leadership.

The original innovation labs weren’t digital.

They were rooms built for wonder.

Renaissance scholars called them Wunderkammers—and they followed a deliberate sequence: Wonder → Discovery → Understanding.

Not accidental. Programmatic.

500 years later, we’ve flipped it. We start with data, analysis, frameworks—then wonder why discovery feels so rare.

What if we’ve been starting at the end?

You can’t think your way to wonder.
But you can wonder your way to understanding.

Wonder isn’t the escape from hard problems.
It’s the doorway in.

What if your biggest breakthrough came from subtracting, not adding? ✂️
From the Wonder Room Vault: The Kodak Trimming Board

Inside the Wonder Room Experience, this vintage tool has sparked insights I could never predict—because every leader sees something different.

Someone notices the worn edge. Another sees uneven patina. Someone else fixates on ruler marks.

That’s the power of perception, not prescription.

Today, this trimming board whispers to me about strategic subtraction. While everyone else is adding (more meetings, more metrics, more initiatives), we’ve mistaken more for better.

The object doesn’t hold the answer. It holds questions you haven’t thought to ask yet.

What needs trimming in your leadership today?

First in my Wonder Room Objects series—each piece a doorway into dimensions of leadership you might not have considered.
