We’ve all been asked the classic question: What does success look like to you?
The answers often echo the symbols of modern achievement — more money, faster cars, bigger business ventures, a title, a trophy, a tangible milestone.

But let’s slow that down for a moment. What if we shifted the question to something far more personal, far more revealing?
What does success feel like to you?

In a world that glorifies hustle and urgency, we often equate movement with progress. We push ourselves to keep up, to get ahead, and to force clarity before it’s ready to arrive. But as a life and career coach, I’ve learned—and lived—the truth that real direction doesn’t come from rushing. It comes from alignment, and sometimes alignment requires us to wait.

Life is often viewed as a linear path from point A to point B. We are taught to fix our eyes on the future, chase goals, and mark our success by milestones. But over the years—as a coach and as a fellow traveler on this road—I’ve come to understand a deeper truth:

The value of life is not found in the destination. It’s found in the journey.

Leadership isn’t about control. It’s about connection.
It’s not about power—it’s about people.
And it’s not a skill you check off a list—it’s a journey of continuous reflection, adjustment, and growth.

If you want to lead well, you have to lead people well. And that begins by understanding that every leadership decision is, at its heart, a human one.

Change is inevitable, but growth is optional—unless you lead with flexibility. Discover how adaptable leadership can help you thrive through personal and professional transitions.

Communication is a two-way street. But, for it to work effectively it take a process of speaking, listening, understanding what was said, then doing.  The “doing” can be replying or fulfilling an action such as a child going to clean their room, or a business manager completing a task.

Everyone has potential, it just depends on the environment that they feel comfortable learning in.

As a leader or manager, we must look at and understand the whole person, both from a personal perspective and from an organizational perspective, or even from the type of environment we are currently in.

Each one of us has a purpose we were born on this earth to do.  Our “WHY,” the reason God placed upon this earth to fulfill.

What were you born to do?  What do you think your future has in store?  What is your purpose or your destiny while here on this earth?
