"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them." John F. Kennedy

Nothing in my life has challenged me more to grow, or brought me more joy, than being a father. And it’s taught me more about leadership than anything else. So today I celebrate: - all the fathers out there putting in the work. - all the men out their in father figure roles for those who need it. - all the father figures in my life, most of all my own father, who have shown me what it means to be a man. - all the people that support and love their fathers despite their imperfections. Here are just a few lessons about leadership I have learned as a father, and from my father: Lead by being first to forgive. Lead by example. Lead by listening. Lead by persuasion, not authority. Lead by taking responsibility, especially when it’s not your fault. Lead by finding the good, when others focus on the bad. Lead by creating a vision of the future. Lead by becoming the person you wish others would be. Lead by giving, and not expecting in return. Lead by protecting those who can’t protect themselves. Lead by helping those in need. Lead by faith, never fear. Lead with love. Happy Father’s Day.

John F. Kennedy This quote is by John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States. He emphasized the importance of showing gratitude through actions, not just words. it means that when we say thank you or express gratitude, it’s not enough to just say the words. The best way to show our appreciation is through our actions and behavior. Instead of just talking about being grateful, we should demonstrate our gratitude by how we live and treat others. #StayPositive #KeepFaith #Motivation #CareerAdvice #OvercomingChallenges

Incredibly, it's already Black History Month. The month of February always imbues me with a sense of profound inspiration. I am reminded of a powerful quote by Maya Angelou: "I work really hard to just focus on the joy of the work that I get to do and the impact that I know it has on the world." This month serves as a poignant reminder that our actions, regardless of their scale, have the potential to instigate transformative change. Every project fuelled by passion, every task carried out with unyielding dedication, is a step toward a better world. Each of us possesses the innate ability to inspire and enact change. So, let's recommit ourselves to pursuing greatness this month and in the future. Let's continue to create, innovate, and be the catalysts for change. Because, as Angelou so eloquently reminds us, our work is not merely about making an impact. It's about deriving joy from that process and shaping history. #BlackHistoryMonth #CelebrateEverydayHeroes #inspiring #possibility #uplift #changetheworld #believeinyourself

It is never to late to make a different choice. What are you sacrificing to justify your existence? What are you saying is most important? Are you actually making choices that support this or are your choices compromising these? If the latter, it is not too late. Make a new choice, and set things in the right path! #wiseup #makeachoice #takefreshaction

When my grandma Vicki was struck down and murdered by a 14 year old high school dropout, my world detonated. The very laws of physics came into question. Up was down. Down was up. The center of gravity no longer existed. I was faced with two existential questions: 1. Is it possible after an incident of unimaginable depravity to forgive someone who doesn’t express any remorse? 2. Will it be possible to experience joy again, knowing that time doesn’t actually heal all wounds and you will face certain tragedies (violence, suicide, death of a child, etc) that never leave you? I have lived my life pursuing in thoughts and deeds answers to these burning questions. Every ounce of labor I expend honoring Vicki’s incredible legacy brings a tenfold measure of healing. Part of what I’ve learned is expressed by this physician talking about not working so hard to justify our existence. Rather, it’s about living an examined life with playfulness, and joy in the company of friends, family and loved ones— empathetic and kind to all, no matter what they’ve done. We cannot seek harm for those who harm us or we will never know joy again. We won’t be unburdened by retribution. The obverse is true. We must practice kindness especially to those who don’t deserve it. We will live unburdened and joyful when we seek no harm under any circumstance, and offer love to all those who cross our pass.

Such a great conversation, this. Two things really resonated for me How important it is to disentangle doing important work from working *too* hard. I think that this is such an easy trap to fall into if you work in a charity or similar. The work matters, and there is always too much to do but this can easily mask other less helpful drivers. At what point are you working 'too' much, neglecting the many other important things in your life, because you are trying to validate your existence or avoid difficult emotions? How to hold all the suffering AND still enjoy life and take time to play -that it is possible to pay attention to the terrible things that are happening in the world and bear witness to them, and at the same time, enjoy your weekend. I have been really struggling with fear of the accelerating climate crisis, and horror at the suffering in Palestine. Finding a way to live with this, honestly, and not let it eclipse finding joy in daily life is a work in progress for me! Highly recommend the whole podcast. Hope you find it useful

Every hurdle crossed is a victory, every barrier broken a triumph. Today, let's celebrate our personal journeys and the hurdles we've surmounted. Share your story of resilience in the comments.
