We pause for financial year-end to reconcile budgets and forecast what's next. But when do we pause to audit our values? Our legacy? Our voice?

Second chances don’t come around every day, so when they do, it's important to take full advantage of them

There are three pet peeves of mine that hit hard. And no, these aren’t the kind of annoyances you can fix with a quick font change or running them through a PDF editor. They’re behaviours and attitudes I’ve come to see — in myself and others — that quietly erode growth, potential and trust.

Contentment comes from accepting your fallibility, your status as creation and your ultimate end

Leaders are human first. Leaders cannot afford to be prisoners of their past — or captives of someone else’s story. If we live trapped in either perpetual guilt or perpetual victimhood, we are not free. And we lead from fear, not clarity.

“You get us.”

That was the feedback that hit me hardest this week — in the best possible way.

The caterpillar without struggle will never experience the joys of flight

If you’ve ever felt like you’re running a race that wasn’t built for you — read this.

It ends with four questions that might change how you define success.

In a tit-for-tat world, escalation is inevitable

Poor leadership gets praised, truth-tellers get punished and equity is often just lip service. It’s tempting to stay silent — but silence protects the system, not the people.

Gratitude is waking up each morning knowing that I've been given another day for a reason and acting on that

Our family car has a big, ugly dent along the driver’s door. But here’s the thing — it still works perfectly.
It got me thinking about how often we pour energy into fixing what’s visible, not what’s actually broken — in life and in leadership.
This post explores why we need to focus less on optics and more on what really drives progress.

“Lest we forget" and "never again" can seem like pretty empty statements when we continue to remain silent about ongoing atrocities and injustices
