How patient are you with others?It’s a simple question—but not always a simple answer. If you’re like me, you might say, “It depends.” Sometimes I’m calm, collected, and patient. Other times? Not so much. And if we’re being honest, we can all look back at moments when we think, “I could have… should have… been

And while that’s part of patience, it’s not the whole story.Today, I want you to think about patience differently.Proactive PatienceWe often think patience means doing nothing.

My latest book, Flexible Leadership: Navigate Uncertainty and Lead with Confidence, was released into the world.

We all know that stereotyping others is unhelpful, even unfair. But have you ever stopped to consider whether you’re stereotyping yourself?At first, you might resist this idea. You probably associate stereotyping with judging others—something you try to avoid. But the reality is, we all do this to ourselves, often without realizing it. And when we
