I’m Sick of Fame
At your funeral, you will not be known for your presence on a stage, but for little acts of seemingly unnoticed kindnesses. Click to tweet. Dare to be small, friends. Dare to love when no one’s looking. Forget the platform. Forget the acclaim. Celebrity is a mirage, and a dangerous one at that. It impales […]

How to Change the World: Be Messy You

The Gist: Many leaders falsely believe that in order to lead well, they have to exclusively superimpose winning strategies upon themselves, when in reality, great leadership flows from a healed heart. The best thing you can do for your “followers” (whether that be in work, friendships or family) is to run after personal healing. […]
