The first act of leadership is to set fire to the outdated labels that keep us small. They served their purpose. Let them die.

Leadership is a skill we all must take-on if our gifts are to have the impact we want to produce. Or to surpass those expectations. This is the recipe for the journey.

The key to embracing this unusual opportunity presented to us? Our focus. Not on what we look at (as convention urges), but what we see. One of the gifts of being human is we get to choose what we see.

We tend to experience confidence in ebbs and flows. It's there, then it's not. But it's only like that because we misunderstand it's source.

The next time you find yourself in the mud of creation, spinning or searching for certainty: Don’t reach for a reason. Lunge for a better question.

Great leaders have internalized the mindset reset. That's why we can perceive them as being the proverbial calm in the eye of the storm. This ability gives everyone around them an advantage.

Admitting we're wrong is humanizing. It softens us. By admitting fault there's space for connection. But being right can create complication.

If you want your people to give their all—to the vision, the mission, the values—hear their myth, and help them live it.
