Greetings Decision Maker,
Monday morning starts with the familiar crush at the elevator bank, phones glowing, coffee cups tilting, calendar reminders stacking up before anyone reaches a desk. Office attendance keeps climbing, and a late-January 2026 reading of Kastle System's 10-city Back to Work Barometer put weekly occupancy at 56.9%, a post-pandemic high that signals real momentum. The question inside that momentum carries more weight than any mandate: what makes the trip feel genuinely worth it?
Micah Remley, Chief Executive Officer at Robin, frames the moment clearly. Workplace platforms powered by AI can absorb the logistical coordination that office attendance requires, and that shift frees the office to deliver what home setups rarely match: faster alignment, richer collaboration, and shared energy. Leaders who treat AI as an experience upgrade, paired with intentional in-person time, create a workplace people choose.

“Dr. Gleb made a presentation at our ASQ (American Society for Quality) Greater Palm Beach event, and I was very pleased with the presentation as well as the response from all the participants. Dr. Gleb made it very easy to plan and organize the speaking engagement, from setting up the Zoom, having information prepared, and then running the event which was exceptionally smooth and professional. He was prepared with very good presentation tools that facilitate his comfortable speaking style while holding our members attention throughout the whole event. The subject matter that Dr. Gleb presents is so very applicable to all areas of work-life, management, as well as personal life. He brings what can be a complex topic down to a level that everyone can understand. Dr. Gleb was a joy to work with. He will surely remain on our list of future speakers.”
- Steve Cooper, ASQ (American Society for Quality) Greater Palm Beach, Chair

What's Up With Me
Following up on last week’s note about gardening, I got some great news from Agnes while I was traveling. She sent me a photo of our very first shiitake mushroom harvest! Last summer, we put in a ton of work to drill logs and fill them with mushroom spawn, and also to set up mushroom beds. The beds have been a disappointment, we got just a couple of mushrooms from one of them, but the logs finally started producing. It’s exciting to see our effort paying off, and I can't wait to try them! |
