Where Leadership Gets Tested

I write when leadership is under pressure, when decisions aren’t clean, and when certainty feels tempting but incomplete. The notes I share here are drawn from coaching, education, and organizational leadership, places where outcomes have consequences and shortcuts eventually show themselves.

I don’t write weekly.
I don’t write to fill space.
And I don’t write to perform certainty.

When something is worth sharing, a framework that held up, a tension that clarified, a moment that exposed what really matters, I send it.

What you’ll receive

• Short reflections from the work of leading when answers aren’t obvious

• Practical frameworks connected to The Power Of book series

• Early notes and ideas that often show up later in books, talks, or tools

This is not motivational content.
It’s not trend-based leadership commentary.
And it’s not designed to be skimmed and forgotten.

How often it arrives

There is no fixed schedule.

Some months you may hear from me once.
Other times, not at all.

That’s intentional.

If it shows up in your inbox, it’s because I believe it’s worth your time.

Who this is for

This list tends to resonate most with:

• Leaders making decisions under real pressure

• Coaches, educators, and executives who carry responsibility, not just titles

• People who are tired of false binaries and surface-level advice

If you’re looking for quick wins or constant content, this probably isn’t the right fit.

If you’re interested in leadership that holds up when tested, you’re in the right place.
