The Idea You Think Everyone Else Has… Nobody Does!
We often silence ourselves, thinking, “Everyone must have already thought of this.” But the truth is, they haven’t. Your perspective is uniquely yours—and it could be the missing piece that sparks innovation. When you share your ideas, you expand what’s possible for the whole company.
Supporting Others in Times of Change: Control vs. Leadership
When change disrupts the familiar, people don’t need a commander—they need a compass. Supporting others isn’t about taking control of their path; it’s about walking beside them with empathy, clarity, and courage. Leadership in times of transition means resisting the urge to fix and instead choosing to listen, guide, and empower. As John C. Maxwell reminds us, “Leadership is not about titles, positions or flowcharts. It is about one life influencing another.” In moments of uncertainty, your role isn’t to dictate—it’s to inspire.
Problem vs. Solution Thinking: You’re Not a Victim…You’re the Answer
We don’t build self-worth by avoiding hard things—we build it by facing them. Living in the solution means stepping out of the victim mindset and into radical ownership. It’s not about pretending everything’s fine; it’s about saying, “This is hard, but I’m still choosing to move.” That choice, repeated over time, becomes a quiet kind of power. As Brené Brown puts it, “You can choose courage or you can choose comfort. You cannot have both.” The reward isn’t instant—but it’s real. You do the hard thing, and afterward, you trust yourself more. That’s the kind of growth that sticks.
What’s Holding You Back? Embracing Transition and Breaking Through Roadblocks
Breaking silos in organizations starts with breaking personal silos. If you want a more collaborative culture, be the one who reaches across the aisle. If you want innovation, share that half-formed idea. If you want transparency, speak honestly about what you’re navigating.
