Hey, Reader! β βWhat if you could be doing everything right on paper and still be missing what matters most? Sometimes the hardest place to lead well is the place closest to home.

One thing I've been thinking about lately is how easy it is to measure success in certain areas of our lives while overlooking others.
We know when we're doing well at work. We can see the progress we're making and the goals we're reaching. But what about the areas of life that are harder to measure?
This week, Winston and I are talking about biblical husbandhood and a question that's worth taking a closer look at, whether you're a husband or simply someone who wants to grow as a leader.
It's a conversation that challenged me to think more deeply about what it means to show up for the people closest to us.
If you've ever thought about what it means to show up well for the people closest to you, I hope you'll tune in this week.
πΉ Providing isn't the same as being present. The people we love need more than our hard work and good intentions.
πΉ Who we are at home matters. The way we show up in our closest relationships says something about the leaders we're becoming.

Story: The Art of Learning From Your Past
All of life is a story. We watch stories through movies and shows, experience the stories of our children as they grow, and live out our own story every day.

In this compelling book, leadership coach, consultant, and podcast host Jim Piper Jr. helps you better understand your story, gain new perspective, grow in self-awareness, and use your story to impact the lives of others.
It's easy to let the demands of leadership pull our attention away from Lthe people closest to us. But success at work means little if we're neglecting the relationships that matter most. How do we make sure we're investing in our marriages and families with the same intention we bring to our work?Click here to read the full reflection.β
