As leaders, we talk a lot about strengths. Mastery. Excellence. But sometimes the most transformative growth comes from trying something new and being changed by it.

Engagement isn’t just a status. It’s a practice. It means choosing to be present, emotionally invested, and willing to be seen.

Let’s not wait for burnout to catch up to us. Let’s proactively run to meet it at the door—and show it we’ve already moved on.

We live in a world that rewards constant alertness. But nobody’s really “on” all the time. Being awake is a spectrum. And some days, we’re just doing our best to find the light switch.

Some of the most inspiring leaders I work with are turning the page with more intention, more energy, and more truth.

Culture isn’t what’s written on the walls. Culture is what’s played out when people think no one’s watching.

AI is changing the way we lead—not by replacing us, but by giving us new tools to lead smarter, communicate better, and free up time to focus on what really matters: people.

Sanctuary Time isn’t soft. It’s strategic.

“I don’t think anyone actually knows how alone I feel.”

Imagine waking up one day and realizing your entire life was a TV show…

Leadership today isn’t just about winning. It’s about helping others win — and watching how much farther you’ll go together.

Success and failure aren’t static. They’re always moving. The best teams and leaders know how to forget the score and focus on the game

March Madness is built for chaos. Each game is single elimination—lose once, and you're out. It’s not always the best teams on paper that make it to the Final Four. It’s the ones who adjust, stay calm under pressure, and rise to the moment.

Time. It’s our most limited resource, yet we often treat it as endless. We pack our days, overcommit, and push the things that matter most to “when we have time.”

What if you really did get one more hour in your day? What would you do with it? Would you spend it working more? Sleeping? With family? Creating something?

Imagine that you wake up and see that you were anonymously given $100,000.  But there’s a catch…

What we think we know isn’t always the truth. Sometimes, the only way to see clearly is to step back and challenge our own certainty.

What if, instead of seeing yourself as being at the tail end of your journey, you saw yourself as still in the early seasons? What if this was just the setup for your most impactful years ahead?

 If you had to pick a song that represents where you are in life right now, what would it be?

The best leaders don’t just solve problems—they improve the way their teams think. By asking smarter, more strategic questions, you can uncover blind spots, avoid knee-jerk reactions, and open the door to opportunities you didn’t even realize existed.

The most effective leaders don’t just manage down; they create ecosystems where ideas, feedback, and understanding flow in all directions.
