Monday Madness

 Monday Reframe: Know Better. Do Better.

"Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better."— Maya Angelou

Pause.

Take a moment to shift your focus inward...

Inhale deeply… exhale slowly... Again... And once more...

Be here, now.

Maya Angelou’s timeless words remind us that growth is not linear, but it is always possible. Her presence—poised, powerful, and deeply intentional—reminds us that influence begins with self-awareness, and transformation begins with truth.

In leadership, business, and life, we often operate at the edge of what we currently know. Yet the competitive landscape—and our personal lives—demand more than status quo thinking. They call for conscious leadership.

So, I ask you to consider:

• How are you measuring growth beyond KPIs or quarterly metrics? 

• What hard-won lessons have surfaced over the past 5 months? 

• Where have you applied what you’ve learned—and where are you still repeating old patterns? 

• What area of your leadership, your relationships, or your self-mastery is quietly asking for more attention?

"We are products of our past, but we don't have to be prisoners of it."— Rick Warren

Here’s the deeper inquiry:

• What intentional action will you take this week to be a better version of yourself—personally, professionally, relationally? 

• What would it look like to lead with curiosity, empathy, and aligned action? 

• What conversation are you avoiding that, if addressed, could unlock growth—for you or your team?

You don’t need to have all the answers. You just need to be willing to pause, listen, and respond differently.

The leaders and influencers making the biggest impact today are those willing to ask:

"Now that I know better—how will I lead better?"

Show up with intention. Encourage those around you to reflect, rise, and recalibrate. Create cultures where accountability and compassion coexist.

You are capable. You are needed. And yes—you’ve got this!

Let’s grow forward,
