The Power of Failure

I know this title may sound weird but stay with me alright… Listen, I used to be so utterly terrified of failure. Honestly, the idea or even the thought of messing up, falling short, or not meeting expectations… Felt like the worst thing that could happen to me. So, I played it safe for as… Continue reading The Power of Failure

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

The Law of Sacrifice

 I once thought success was about getting more…more time, more freedom, more rewards. But then I learned a hard truth: Real success requires sacrifice. Think about it every great leader, every high achiever, every person who has made it had to give up something to go up. Time. Comfort. Short-term wins for long-term impact. I… Continue reading The Law of Sacrifice

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

Link Up with Others

For so many years, I honestly thought that success was a solo journey. Hustle hard, grind even more, push through do it on your own. But then I hit a wall. I had the drive, the goals, the work ethic… but I was stuck. Then, I did something uncomfortable: I reached out for help. I… Continue reading Link Up with Others

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

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?

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…
