Do you choose action over reflection, or is it the other way around?

I recently stumbled upon a Steve Jobs lecture where he critiqued consultants with one simple, powerful idea: “You have to be doing actual work to make something meaningful.”

This got me thinking about the ongoing debate: Are you a consultant—strategic, reflective, and data-driven? Or an entrepreneur—action-driven, fearless, and iterative?

In this latest minisode, I explore why the real magic happens when you balance both. In high-performing teams, it’s about combining action with reflection to propel yourself and others forward.

I’d love to hear your thoughts: How do you balance action and reflection in your work?

If it resonates, share it with someone who would find it valuable.

If these episodes have resonated with you, I've got great news!

I've just opened the doors for my new free membership called Leadership Mastery: Achieve Big Impact Without Burnout.

So many entrepreneurs, leaders, and executives have asked me about how to be more productive and effective so that they can make a bigger impact, faster. I've seen so many of them make the mistake of spending all of their time on work, spreading themselves too thin in the service of their mission. And that's just backwards.

I created Leadership Mastery to help people like you - people who want to do good in this world - so that you can achieve massive breakthroughs in your results and impact without the burnout.

This membership is designed to give you the space to understand your leadership trajectory and build a solid foundation for your next stage of growth.
