    Weekly Leader's Digest: Every leader has one pattern to break - what's yours? - Episode 325

    Every leader has one pattern to break—what's yours? Ever feel like you're doing the same things and expecting different results? You're not alone. Most leaders don't need more effort they need more awareness. Here's the truth: your biggest breakthrough is often hiding behind your strongest pattern. We all have automatic responses that once served us but now sabotage us. The perfectionist who delays decisions. The people-pleaser who says yes to everything. The controller who micromanages instead of empowering. In today's episode, I explore how breaking a pattern isn't about forcing change it's about noticing it, naming it, and choosing differently.

    Weekly Leader's Digest: Where does transformation really start? - Episode 320

    Where does transformation really start? I once had a dream where I was locked out of my own house, frantically trying every code I could think of until a voice said, "You already have the code. It's L-O-V-E." Most leaders believe transformation means doing more more strategy, more effort, more willpower. But true transformation starts with being, not doing. It's not about performing who you think you should be it's about remembering who you already are.
