The Power of Being Seen

The deepest human need is to be seen, heard, and understood. I spent the past weekend at an extraordinary TEDx event in Wilmington, DE. One of the messages I teach, and heard repeatedly shared at this event, was that each one of us has a purpose in life. Each of us has that “thing” that allows us to feel that…

The Truth About Purpose & Profit Success

The Truth About Purpose & Profit

From Expert to Thought Leader Leadership

From Expert to Thought Leader

There comes a point in every high-performing leader’s journey (no matter where you are on the ladder of leadership) where mastery is no longer the goal—it’s the baseline.

The Leader Within: Leadership in the Midst of Adversity, Transition, and Hope Leadership

The Leader Within: Leadership in the Midst of Adversity, Transition, and Hope

True leadership isn’t defined when everything is flowing and the path is clear. It’s shaped, refined, and revealed in times of adversity—when plans fall apart, the future feels uncertain, and we’re asked to make decisions without guarantees. Adversity strips away the nonessential. It removes the illusion that we are in control and instead invites us to lead from essence, not…
