There is a question I have been exploring with leaders that consistently creates a profound shift in perspective:

What if your greatest contribution as a leader has not happened yet—and cannot happen through the approach that got you here?

When I posed this question to the CEO of a $50M company, she initially laughed. “That is terrifying,” she said, “And exactly what I needed to hear.”

Why This Question Matters

The most dangerous ceiling is not the one imposed by others—it is the one created by our own sense of mastery.

The approaches, mindsets, and frameworks that brought you success become comfortable. Trusted. Even identity-forming.

Yet evolution requires the courage to recognize when those same tools, when your sense of mastery, have become limitations.

A Reflection for Your Journey

Consider what aspects of your leadership feel most solid and proven—the skills or approaches you are known for.

Now ask yourself:

  • What might be possible beyond these familiar strengths?
  • Where might my expertise be limiting my vision?
  • What would I attempt if I released the need to rely on what has always worked?

Sit with whatever arises without rushing to solution.

Questions often do the most important work.

For Those Ready to Go Deeper

For leaders standing at this threshold of evolution, I have created my Transformational Leadership Circle, and it begins May 20. This is a nine-month journey with a carefully selected cohort of accomplished individuals ready to move beyond conventional approaches. I will ask you the necessary questions to uncover where you’re ready to grow and expand.

Limited seats are available to ensure the right group dynamic and personalized attention.

Apply now or learn more—and if you have been thinking about it and are still not sure, let’s talk about it and find out if this is right for you, right now.

Whether or not my Transformational Leadership Circle is your next step, I hope you will courageously ask yourself what this moment requires for your next evolution and expansion, this inquiry alone will create a shift in your leadership journey.
