Aloha! Talking Story is the blog written by
Sense of WorkPlace coach and Alaka‘i Managers’ advocate Rosa Say. I’m the author of Managing with Aloha and the founder of Say Leadership Coaching, Ho‘ohana Publishing, and Writing with Aloha. You can expect to read articles here about practicing value alignment, about managing and leading as verbs, and about “talking story” as the conversational culture of dynamic workplaces.
Expect Hō‘imi: healthy doses of curious experimentation and optimistic disruption.
