    In today’s episode, I share why purpose-driven leadership goes far beyond titles or strategies. It’s about creating cultures built on humility, clarity, and daily renewal. I talk about how transformation comes not from pressure or ego but from recalibrating your energy and leading through service. You’ll hear how gratitude, forgiveness, and joy can fuel long-term resilience, and why comparison is one of the greatest threats to your calling. From overcoming burnout to blessing your critics, I explore how to stay focused on what you’re given instead of reacting to what’s missing. Great leadership isn’t about being impressive. It’s about being impactful even when no one is watching.
