The Gift of Presence: Why Slowing Down Is the Most Generous Act of Leadership
As leaders, we’re made for motion. We plan, we produce, we perform. But as the year winds down, something else calls for our attention: people.
Long after the deadlines fade and the goals are checked off, what lingers isn’t what we did, but rather how we made people feel.
I believe that pre...

The Stewardship of Succession: Why Every Great Leader Plans for What’s Next
Let’s be honest: the idea of succession planning can make even the most confident leaders uneasy.
In a job market defined by uncertainty, the thought of preparing someone to replace you might feel like inviting risk, or worse, irrelevance.
But what if I told you that it’s actually the oppos...

The Myth of Balance: Why Great Leaders Live in Seasons, Not Equilibrium
For decades, we’ve been told to chase “work-life balance,” as if our professional and personal lives exist on opposite sides of a scale.
However, the reality is that they’re not opposing forces. They’re actually deeply intertwined.
The phrase “work-life balance” first gained traction in the...

Leading in the Age of Distraction: How to Protect Your Team’s Focus in a World That Won’t Pause
We live in an era of endless pings, tabs, messages, and micro-interruptions. And it’s not just annoying, it’s eroding our performance, energy, and team culture.

Sitting in the Sun: Why Recognizing Our Wins Matters as Much as Achieving Them
It’s no secret that high achievers are wired for motion.
We chase the next goal, move the bar higher, and rarely stop long enough to notice the view from the summit.
That forward momentum serves us well… until it doesn’t.
Unchecked, it turns into what psychologists call the “hedonic tread...

Setting Yourself Up to Be Replaceable: How Great Leaders Build Empowered Teams
Many leaders hold tightly to the idea that if they’re always needed, it proves they’re valuable. But the reality is, when everything depends on you, you’re not leading, you’re actually bottlenecking.
Great leadership isn’t about being irreplaceable. It’s about building people, structures, and...

Practice vs. Performance: Why Leaders Need More Reps, Not Just More Results
You’ve seen it in every sport.
Athletes spend the vast majority of their time training: practicing drills, conditioning, running plays, rehearsing responses. When game day arrives, it’s only 10% of their time. The other 90% is reps, not results.
But in leadership? The ratio flips.
Most le...

Purposeful Patience: Can You Lead Without Rushing the Process?
Urgency gets a lot of airtime in leadership conversations. Move fast. Decide quickly. Stay ahead.
And sure, there’s truth in that. Speed can create momentum and open doors. But if urgency is all we celebrate, it can just as easily lead to shortsighted decisions, burned-out teams, and missed o...

The Power of Letting Go: Why Unlearning Defines Great Leaders
As leaders, we’re wired to learn. We gather knowledge, develop skills, and refine strategies. But here’s the catch: what helped us succeed in the past won’t always carry us into the future. Sometimes, the bravest move isn’t doubling down, it’s letting go.
Unlearning is the discipline of stepp...
