Monday Madness

Monday Madness | Choosing Peace in the Midst of the Noise

Inspired by Iyanla Vanzant’s "Until Today: Daily Devotions for Spiritual Growth and Peace of Mind"

Even in a world that feels increasingly unpredictable, politically charged, and emotionally heavy, there is a powerful truth worth reclaiming:

As leaders, change agents, and innovators, we’ve endured seasons of disruption and transformation—and yet we are still standing.

We’ve navigated uncertainty, carried teams through uncharted waters, and survived challenges that once felt insurmountable.

But surviving isn’t the finish line—self-leadership is.

So today’s Monday Madness invitation is simple, but not easy:

From a coaching perspective, cultivating peace is not about denial:

It’s about building internal capacity.
It’s the practice of grounding yourself so you can lead with clarity rather than reactivity
It’s developing the emotional intelligence to respond instead of absorb.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. reminds us:

“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”

So peace is not disengagement—it’s alignment.

Use these questions to deepen your self-inquiry or spark meaningful dialogue with your teams:

What inner narrative do I need to quiet so I can hear what really matters today?
Where can I create more psychological, emotional, or operational freedom in my leadership?
What decision, shift, or boundary would bring me greater ease and alignment this week?
What am I tolerating that drains my peace—and what support would help me release it?
How do I want to show up today, regardless of the external noise around me?
