A very special Christmas surprise happened today...

I just found out that my Christmas CD—recorded back in 2007 with some of the most amazing musicians!—has just been released on Spotify and YouTube. It happened to arrive just a few hours ago, on Christmas Day. What a beautiful surprise!

The album includes "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," a song that carries a lot of warmth and tradition for me. It was created for moments of quiet listening, for connection, and for those small pauses that make the season feel human again.

I wish you and your loved ones truly magical, peaceful, and blessed holidays. Thank you for being part of my world this year—for listening, sharing, and connecting. I’m very much looking forward to seeing you again in the new year.

When I think of Thanksgiving at my parents house, two memories stand out above all others. The first is from my childhood. My older brother used to visit us every year at Thanksgiving to take my younger brother (who is still older than I am…) to the Thanksgiving Fair at the old Sears shopping center and to buy us each a present at a local toy store. He did this because he wanted to make us feel special.

When I was a bit older (in my teenage and young adult years), Thanksgiving was a bit different. The family would gather and eat—the usual traditions of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, football, etc. also happened—and then after everyone was in bed, my sister, younger brother and I would sneak into the kitchen around midnight and do the forbidden—we ate the leftover dressing from Thanksgiving dinner. Every year, on the day after Thanksgiving, my mother would wake up and yell, “Who ate the dressing??!!” Silence. Silence followed by guilty looks and snickering. I always wondered why this surprised her each time… 😂

Today, looking at Thanksgiving from so far away, I miss these moments, and I am truly grateful to have shared them with my family. Treasure the little moments you have with each other and remember to be thankful. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

🎤 The magic happens in the dress rehearsal.
That’s where you see the preparedness of the speaker.
✨ How is the mic? Is the mic working? How are the acoustics in the room?
✨ How is the stage? How can you use the stage to your advantage?
✨ How is the lighting? How far can you move and still be visible to the audience?

Preparation isn’t about perfection; it’s about finding your home on the stage. It’s about being able to play with your audience. It’s about presence.
When you know your stage, your story, and your space, you’re free to lead with confidence and connect from the heart. 💫

It was an honor to meet Jean-Claude Juncker, former President of the European Union, who received this year’s Deutscher Rednerpreis (German Speaker Award). His leadership is a powerful example of vision, direction, and compassion.
