I'm starting a YouTube channel under my name and titled 'Coffee with Coach Larry - Reinventing Life & Leadership After 50 Without Burning Out.' I want to align it with our community without changing to current content so here is a revised About Page copy I'm considering. "If you’re over 50 and stepping into a new season of life and leadership, you’re not alone. I’m Coach Larry. After 30 years in the same organization and more than 50 years in leadership, I retired early… then realized I still had more purpose in me. Now I help faith-driven leaders reinvent their next chapter without burning out. The Servant Leaders Accelerator is a free community for leaders who want clarity, purpose, and a healthier way to lead in the second half of life. We talk about calling, identity, faith, meaning, and how to move forward when old roles no longer fit. This community pairs with my weekly show, Coffee With Coach Larry, a 15-minute conversation about navigating life and leadership after 50 with wisdom and peace. If you’re ready to rediscover your calling — not just your career — pull up a chair and join us. You’re right on time." What do you think?

Mondays aren’t a restart; they’re a reveal. They show how well you’ve prepared your mind and heart to lead. Take 5 quiet minutes this morning to picture the leader you want to show up as this week. Reflection: What mindset will you choose before the week chooses it for you?

It’s a strange feeling, isn’t it? When you’re young, a year feels like an eternity. By midlife, it feels like a month. Then, one day, you blink and it’s Christmas again. The toilet paper roll explains it well. When it’s full, each turn takes forever to make a dent. But as it gets smaller, every spin eats up more of what’s left. Our years work the same way — not because time itself changes, but because our perception does. When you’re five, one year is 20% of your life — a huge slice. At fifty, it’s only 2%. Your brain weighs time proportionally, so each passing year feels smaller compared to the whole. Add routine and predictability — fewer “firsts,” fewer surprises — and time slips by even faster. If you want to slow the roll, fill it again: learn new things, take risks, make memories that stretch your sense of experience. That’s how you make a shorter roll feel longer. What new thing are you planning to learn or do to slow the roll?

I'm excited to introduce @Des Dreckett who has just joined our growing community. I've already met with Des and he is a shining example of a servant leader. Let's give him a warm SLA welcome!

When you strip away titles and strategy decks, three things usually sit at the core: 1. Meaning. Most servant-hearted leaders can’t stomach the idea of a life that’s just self-maintenance. They serve because it makes existence make sense. Helping others becomes how they touch eternity, even in small, quiet ways. 2. Empathy born from pain. Many leaders start serving after being on the receiving end of neglect or bad leadership. They remember what it felt like to be unseen, so they lead in the opposite spirit — with presence, not power. 3. Vision of collective growth. True service isn’t charity; it’s partnership. These leaders see potential in others and can’t rest until it’s unlocked. Their success feels incomplete unless others rise with them. These are what I've seen in others and myself. Which of these three feels truest to you right now? If you chose other please let us know what it is in the comments.
