𝐏𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐀𝐧𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐫 A lot of leadership advice assumes stability, clear plans, steady execution, predictable inputs. But March has been a good reminder that the world doesn’t really care about our plans. So I want to put a simple question to the group: Is anti-fragility still necessary to be successful, or is it optional? If you think it’s necessary, say why. If you think it’s not, tell us what replaces it. 1. Where did volatility show up for you in the last 10 days, and did you get stronger, stay steady, or take a hit? 2. What part of your leadership or business is most fragile right now (the smallest disruption causes the biggest damage)? 3. Where are you playing it “safe” but actually sitting in the dangerous middle, too much downside, not enough upside? 4. What’s one thing you could remove this month that would make you more resilient immediately (a commitment, dependency, or complexity)?

Part of becoming Anti-Fragile is having difficult conversations with the people we spend time with. These scripts are helpful pathways to having these conversations. I will share items that I use in my leadership development courses so that you have access to some of these. They work professionally and personally.

March 10 You are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3:26 NLT To be poor in spirit is to recognize our spiritual poverty and our constant dependence on God. Children rely on their parents for protection, care, and provision. Because of that relationship, they do not live as if they are abandoned or without help. But apart from their parents, they would be helpless and in great need. Dependent children do not spend their days consumed with worry over food, clothing, or shelter. They trust that what they need will be provided. In the same way, when we come to Christ, we become children of God and can trust our heavenly Father to care for us. Jesus said, “What man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? … How much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!” (Matthew 7:9, 11 NKJV). Before we can be filled, we must first admit our need. Before we can be made rich in Him, we must first acknowledge that without Him, we are poor. Application: Antifragility starts with surrender, not self-reliance. When I admit my dependence on God, I stop building my life on fragile confidence and start developing a deeper strength that can endure pressure, uncertainty, and disruption.

Dear friends, It’s the end of February already. I won’t be on the call tomorrow, my grandson turns one, and that clearly outranks everything else 😊, but I did want to share a quick reflection from this month. February was about identity, and honestly, it confronted me. Through my daily reflections (yes, still using my ChatGPT coach that I shared with you all), I started noticing a subtle pattern: I’ve been living with the belief that every single day must be a growth day. More output. More discipline. More progress. It sounds strong. But underneath it was pressure. What I discovered is this: I don’t thrive on activity, I thrive on meaningful leverage. When I’m building something that truly moves the needle, I’m calm, focused and often in flow. When I’m just being busy to prove effort, I fragment. I also caught an old reflex; defending or justifying myself when challenged. That’s not who I’m becoming. This month wasn’t about doing more. It was about returning to who I actually am: a builder focused on impact, not optics. Grateful for this group 🙏
