Think you’re healthy? You might want to think again. It’s easy to think you’re doing great when it comes to your well-being, only to find out you’re not when someone examines the objective data. I believe every high-performer needs regular, comprehensive health check-ins

Most leaders think they either need to push harder or find balance. But the real edge? Knowing your ideal intensity so you don’t crash and burn. Great leaders master their own Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE), the level they can sustain without self-destructing. It’s not about

Tension in leadership isn’t your enemy. It’s a tool. I define tension as the discomfort that arises in a relationship when there’s a gap between expectations and reality. It’s what happens in a relationship when someone drops the ball, sees things differently, or delivers

Are you constantly dreaming about that project launch? Or maybe you’re trying to get a business off the ground because you believe that once it’s live, everything will finally start to fall into place. Be careful when you catch yourself thinking that way. It’s 100% certified

Have you ever reached a long-sought-after goal, only to feel let down? Maybe you’ve been working toward a business milestone, buying a house, or another project that’s consumed your thoughts for weeks, months, or even years. When you finally got there, how did you feel?

Just because you feel something doesn’t mean you need to say it. There’s a difference between honest candor and emotional dumping. Before you speak, ask yourself if sharing that feeling will create connection or distance.  Remember that real, constructive candor includes

We’ve all met the person who brings great vibes, big ideas… but zero follow-through. The meeting goes long, there’s no clear ask, and you walk away unsure of what just happened. These are the dreamers. Socially magnetic, endlessly inspired, but often scattered and unfocused.

Most people don’t realize how much their beliefs shape their outcomes. Self-limiting beliefs fuel self-defeating behaviors, killing confidence before it ever has a chance to grow. But confidence isn’t about hype or blind faith. It’s about earned trust in yourself. True

Do you have to be vulnerable, likable, and humble to lead well? Here’s the truth most leadership gurus won’t tell you: Good leadership isn’t about being the most open, the most liked, or the least “egotistical.” It’s about knowing how to carry the weight and commit to a

If you need to be liked, you’ll never lead at the highest level. Likeability isn’t useless; it can help you build relationships, retain talent, and collaborate. But at the top? It becomes a liability. Why? Because being likable often means compromising or placating. And most

The difference between a healthy ego and an unhealthy one? Confidence vs. arrogance. True confidence can take feedback, own mistakes, and pivot fast. It’s not fragile, it grows under pressure. Arrogance resists. It deflects criticism, denies failure, and clings to outdated

High performers walk a tightrope: burnout but stay driven, or soften too much and lose their edge. How can we balance staying driven with mental wellbeing? Ambition is a double-edged sword. It drives elite leaders long after others quit. But sustaining it is an art. Therapy can

You don’t rise to the top by playing it safe. You rise by owning your full self, light and shadow. How do you do that? • First, develop awareness. Stop pretending you’re above anger, ego, or ambition. Own them. Aim them. • Take that anger, ego, and ambition and make it your

Some of the world’s most influential people, the movers and shakers, have big egos. So, can ego be all bad? Thinking you can change the world is simultaneously incredibly egotistical and selfless. Why would you want to see the world changed if you didn’t care about other

Some of the most powerful leaders you know are fueled by anger, shame, and dissatisfaction. That’s not a flaw, it’s their edge. Let’s talk about how to use your dark side without letting it ruin your life: You can’t ignore your dark side, that hidden side Carl Jung described:

Entrepreneurial genius and volatility often go hand-in-hand. Anger. Ambition. The craving for power or glory. We’re taught to suppress them. But they’re often our strongest fuel. When you deny those instincts, you lose energy. When you work with them, you unlock drive, focus,

Most leaders say they want the truth. But few create environments where people feel safe enough to speak it. They avoid conflict. Sugarcoat feedback. Protect egos. And as a result, the most important problems stay buried. But the best leaders I know? They seek friction. They

The desires of your dark side might just be the fuel you need to achieve your greatest success. If you want to do something extraordinary, you can’t ignore it. The part of you that craves power, success, recognition. That burns with anger, fear, and unmet desire. We’re taught

If you decide you need therapy, be intentional and choosy about who you select as your therapist. Your therapist’s values shape your therapy work, often more than you think. Research shows patients tend to unconsciously adopt their therapist’s values over time, a process called

Ego isn’t your enemy. It might be your most underrated leadership asset. We’re told that “ego is the enemy.” That it’s something to kill off, dissolve, or transcend. From Instagram quotes to bestselling business books, ego is framed as a barrier to greatness. But here’s the
