Happy Friday! I love this day because it’s my weekly checkpoint. On Mondays I set the intention. On Wednesdays I pause and adjust at the halfway point. And on Fridays I measure the success. It’s one of the most powerful rhythms a leader can build. Fridays aren’t just for closing out tasks. They’re for pausing long enough to look at your progress with honesty and appreciation. Were your habits aligned? Was your focus clear? Or is it possible your measuring stick wasn’t aimed at the right outcomes at all? This check-in is where real growth happens. Celebrate the wins. Acknowledge the challenges. Appreciate the lessons. Every step counts. Every stumble teaches. Every win—big or small—moves you forward. Strong leaders and business owners use Fridays to reflect, reset, and refuel so they walk into Monday with intention, clarity, and momentum. What’s one thing you’re proud of from this week that deserves to be acknowledged?

Transition has a way of showing up whether we’re ready or not. Sometimes we ask for it, pray for it, work for it, and prepare ourselves so we can welcome it with open arms. Other times, even when we’re the ones who choose it, it still catches us off guard and we feel a little sidelined. And then there are the moments when it hits out of the blue and knocks the wind out of us. One minute life is steady, the next we’re standing in a brand-new chapter staring at unfamiliar territory. But here’s the part we don’t talk about enough. Transition is always a teacher. And as leaders, we’re used to being the ones guiding, directing, supporting, and setting the tone for everyone else. When you’re almost always in the teacher seat, it can be hard to drop into the student seat and let the transition itself show you something. Yet that’s where the real beauty lives. That’s where clarity gets revealed, resilience is built, identity is shaped, and your next level starts to take form. Leading through transition isn’t just about staying strong or confident. It’s about staying open. It’s about letting this season have a seat at your table and being willing to learn from it instead of rushing past it. When you do that, you grow in ways you can’t grow when everything is predictable. As we roll into 2026, take a hard look at what transition you’re preparing for and what you need to do to be seen, ready, and positioned for it. Here are three quick anchors: • 📌 Clarify what “ready” actually looks like for you • ✏️ Clean up loose ends that could slow you down • 🚀 Build visibility and momentum before you need it And if you’re already in a transition (in the student seat) here are three ways to make sure you extract the lesson: • 👀 Pay attention to what feels hard because that’s pointing straight at your growth • 📝 Journal the patterns, emotions, and insights so you don’t miss the message • 🤝 Lean into support instead of isolating, teachers appear when students allow it What is one thing a past transition taught you that you didn’t expect?

Everyone loves to hate on Mondays. Everyone romanticizes Fridays. But you know what day actually separates average leaders from intentional ones? Tuesday. Tuesday is where the real work happens. No chaos of Monday. No “almost the weekend” energy of Thursday and Friday. Just pure, focused leadership in motion. Here’s the truth: Tuesday is the day that determines whether your week drifts… or dominates. So here’s your challenge: 👉 Choose ONE thing every Tuesday that you look forward to as a leader. Not ten. Not five. One powerful, needle-moving ritual that gives Tuesday its own identity. Maybe it’s your weekly strategy hour. Maybe it’s your team check-in that sets the tone. Maybe it’s your “CEO time” where you look ahead instead of behind. Maybe it’s the one block where you protect your energy like it’s sacred. When you define your Tuesday, you define your trajectory. Leaders don’t wait for the week to shape them. They carve out the moments that sharpen their clarity, elevate their influence, and fuel their momentum. So here’s to the most underrated day of the week— 🔥 The day where leaders rise without the noise 🔥 The day where focus beats frenzy 🔥 The day where momentum actually gets built Make your Tuesday mean something. And watch the rest of the week fall in line.
