For years as a leadership coach, Alan over-emphasized habits and healthy rhythms while under-selling the power of big, audacious goals. He watched too many leaders get crushed by massive targets they never hit, and he overcorrected. Now he's setting...

Sabbatical gets misunderstood, feared, and misused — and most leaders either wait too long to take one or avoid it altogether.

Why are we winning right now? I've sat with several leaders recently who are honestly asking that question. Not bragging. Not saying they're crushing it. Just genuinely trying to understand why the flywheel is finally spinning — why the fruit is finally showing up.
The ans...

You're not behind. You're just running too fast.
Most leaders think the answer to overwhelm is speed—more efficiency, tighter schedules, faster execution. But what if the real problem isn't that you're doing too little? What if it's that you're running at an unsustainable ...
You can never be them. They can never be you. So stop trying.
In a culture obsessed with comparison and counterfeits, most leaders spend their entire lives trying to become someone else. They look at other leaders and think, "How do they do that?" They scroll through feeds...
We're so busy watching everyone else—scrolling feeds, comparing ourselves to other leaders, checking what the competition is doing—that we've become incredibly others-aware and dangerously self-unaware.
Self-awareness isn't a buzzword. It's the difference between walking i...
Most leaders understand the importance of health—but few actually live it out consistently.

What season of leadership am...
