I remember the first time I was asked to lead a project I had no idea how to handle. I wanted to say “yes” so badly, but deep down, I knew I wasn’t ready not yet. I didn’t just lack confidence… I lacked competence. In today's reading, John Maxwell clearly reminds us once again of… Continue reading Competence
For years, I thought the best ideas came from “the experts” or the usual places books, conferences, the same trusted sources. But some of the best ideas I’ve ever had came from unexpected moments like a conversation with someone, sometimes even a stranger, a part in a movie, a random observation in a coffee shop,… Continue reading Look in Unusual Places for Ideas
There’s a saying which says, “Show me your friends, and I’ll show you your future.” But I believe it’s also true in leadership…“Show me the people closest to a leader, and I’ll show you how far that leader will go.” In today’s chapter, once again John Maxwell teaches, “Those closest to the leader determine the… Continue reading Those Closest to the Leader
There’s something powerful about private encouragement but there’s something delightful about public praise.

One thing hit me about what John Maxwell said in today's reading, really striking… he said, “You will never change your life until… Continue reading Expand Beyond Your Routine
If I’m being totally honest, there are days when staying positive feels impossible. Life hits hard, people disappoint you, and plans fall apart. And to think positivity meant ignoring reality or pretending everything was okay. But that’s not it at all. Once again, in today’s reading John Maxwell said, “A positive attitude won’t solve all… Continue reading Cultivate a Positive Attitude
There was a time when I thought success was about trophies, titles, or public applause. And failure? That was falling short of those visible milestones. But life had other lessons in store for me. One day, after a project I had poured my heart into completely flopped, I felt crushed. But sitting in that moment,… Continue reading Redefining Failure and Success
I used to believe that freedom meant doing whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. No rules. No limits. Just living life “free.” But somewhere along the way, I realized that chasing total freedom often left me feeling lost, not liberated. In today’s reading, John Maxwell said, “Freedom is not the absence of responsibility; it’s the… Continue reading The Freedom Myth
I used to think the best way to grow was to focus on fixing weaknesses. But then I noticed that when people work in their strength zone, they don’t just perform better they light up. I saw it firsthand with someone on my team. They were struggling in one role, constantly getting drained. We switched… Continue reading Putting People in Their Strength Zones
