[LL]: Decide Who You Are Before Circumstance Does
Hey Leader 🙌 Happy Monday! A handful of years ago, I read a quote that stopped me cold: “A leader who has not decided who he is will be decided for him by circumstance.” Read that again. Because leadership starts long before you lead a team. It starts with leading yourself. That quote pushed me…

Happy Monday Mindset! I turned 43 on Friday. I did not celebrate. I spent two hours with a legal pad and two columns. What worked this year. What did not. Most high performers get reflection wrong. They treat it as sentiment. A highlight reel. A gratitude post. That is decoration. Real reflection is an audit. …

Hey Leader 🙌 In 1994, the World Cup came to America. Soccer was already my sport. That summer is when it became something bigger than a game. 5 weeks ago, it came back to us. Most attended. Most televised. 96 years of tournament history and nothing has ever pulled the planet closer than this one…
