“Some of us, for better or worse, develop very stable, consistent, and largely predictable machineries of self. But in others, the self machinery is more flexible and more open to unexpected turns.”

—Antonio Damasio

Pause with me for a moment.

Inhale deeply… exhale slowly...

Clear your mind and be present...

Now, ask yourself:

Are you operating from habit and predictability—or from openness and adaptability?

When life throws you a pop quiz, how prepared are you—mentally, emotionally, and strategically?

Iyanla Vanzant reminds us that when challenges arise, our clarity often falters. Unless we’ve cultivated resilience and self-trust, we can get stuck in doubt and fear.

As leaders, influencers, and change agents, preparation isn’t about predicting every obstacle—it’s about strengthening the mindset and practices that help us pivot with purpose.

Three coaching questions to reflect on and share with your team:

If anything were possible right now, what three actions would move you closer to thriving?
How can you reframe a current limitation into an opportunity?
What support do you need—and are you willing to ask for it?

Resilience begins with presence, perspective, and intentional action. Trust yourself. Lead with courage. Encourage others to do the same.

Memorable One-Liner: In uncertain times, freedom is found in your ability to prepare, pivot, and press forward with purpose.

You got this!
