How patient are you with yourself?Last week, I asked you to consider how patient you are with others—a question that’s deeply important for leaders. But today, I want to turn the lens inward. Because the patience we offer others is often directly tied to the patience we show ourselves.So let me ask again: How patient
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

Last week, I reached a milestone—one that’s personally meaningful and professionally important. My latest book, Flexible Leadership: Navigate Uncertainty and Lead with Confidence, was released into the world.

As leaders, our days are filled with emails, meetings, reports, and decisions. We communicate about tasks, processes, and problems—the work that must get done. But is simply transacting business enough to lead effectively?The answer is no.

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.
