Have you ever made a big decision in the heat of the moment only to regret it later? Yeah, me too. I used to believe that faster was better when it came to decision-making. But then, I learned something that changed my entire approach. The best decisions aren’t made in pressure they’re made in preparation.… Continue reading When to Make Decisions

The Value of Teamwork
I used to pride myself on being independent. I could handle things on my own, make my own decisions, and push forward alone. But then I hit a wall hard. I realized that no matter how talented, determined, or hardworking I was, I had limits. And those limits kept me stuck. Then, I learned something… Continue reading The Value of Teamwork
The Position Myth
I used to believe that leadership was about titles. If I could just reach a certain position, then people would listen. Then I’d have influence. Then I’d matter. But I was wrong. Early in my life, I had a boss with the fanciest title but zero real leadership. No one truly respected him. No one… Continue reading The Position Myth
People Add the Most Value in Their Strength Zones
Early in my life, I worked with a team where everyone had to do a little bit of everything. It sounded great in theory everyone was versatile! But in reality? It was a mess. The creative people struggled with analytics. The detail-oriented ones felt drained by brainstorming sessions. No one was thriving because we were… Continue reading People Add the Most Value in Their Strength Zones
Trust Me on This…
There was a time when I thought trust had to be earned the hard way slowly, cautiously, after proving yourself over and over. But then I worked with a leader who flipped that idea upside down. From day one, she trusted me. Not because I had done anything special, but because that’s just how she… Continue reading Trust Me on This…
Ratchet Up Your Passion
There was a time I felt stuck going through the motions, checking off tasks, but feeling uninspired. I wasn’t burned out, just blah. Then I read John Maxwell’s reminder: Passion isn’t automatic you have to fuel it. I decided to make three changes. First, I reconnected with my “why.” Why did I start this journey?… Continue reading Ratchet Up Your Passion
To Teamwork, Add Friendship
A few years ago, I was part of a team that worked like a well-oiled machine efficient, focused, and successful. But something was missing. We weren’t friends. We collaborated, but we didn’t really connect as much. Then, a new team member, Oliver, changed everything. Oliver made it his mission to get to know everyone. He… Continue reading To Teamwork, Add Friendship
Give People the Triple A-Treatment…
When I first started in leadership, I focused more on results than relationships. I believed that if the job got done, everything else would fall into place. But one day, a mentor challenged me: “How do you make people feel?” That question hit me hard. I had no idea. Then, I came across John Maxwell’s… Continue reading Give People the Triple A-Treatment…
Are You Drifting or Steering Your Course? The Choice is Yours…
So, here’s what I have for you today… I was reading Maxwell Daily 365 today because apparently, as you well know me already I undoubtedly love my daily dose of life lessons with a side of sarcasm, and here in this book I stumbled upon a question that made me stop and really think: “If… Continue reading Are You Drifting or Steering Your Course? The Choice is Yours…
Even I Can’t Do It Alone…
I know it’s been a hot minute since my last post two days off and suddenly it feels like two weeks. I’ve been knee-deep in cooking (and not just any cooking, but literal, heart-and-soul, food-for-my-customers cooking) and living out my culinary business dreams.💃💃💃 Amid all this culinary chaos, I managed to squeeze in some reading… Continue reading Even I Can’t Do It Alone…
