    When Their Limit Becomes Your Ceiling — Releasing the Guilt of Outgrowing People

    June 22, 2025 - By 

    Success, in any form, changes your relationships. Especially with people who knew you before you dared to dream differently. You may notice it in small ways at first. A friend becomes distant. A relative says you’re “too ambitious.” Someone you respect jokes that you’ve “changed.” And you wonder: Did I do something wrong? Here’s the hard truth: sometimes, what feels like judgment is really someone else’s fear of being left behind.

    The Power of Legacy: A Reflection on True Leadership

    July 19, 2024 - By 

    Have you ever paused to think about the power of legacy? It’s a game-changer for leaders. In a world where job titles are temporary and borrowed, it’s essential to recognize that these titles will eventually fade away. What remains is our reputation, the true mark of our impact and integrity. When I started my journey in leadership, I was enamored with titles. They felt like badges of honor, symbols of achievement. But over time, I realized that these titles were fleeting. They came and went, often with little lasting impact. What endured were the impressions I left on people, the…
