Leadership isn’t a sprint—it’s a marathon marked by challenges, growth, and grace.  Too often, CEOs and executives focus only on the gaps—the goals missed, the projects delayed, the metrics not quite hit. But when you pause to celebrate progress, you cultivate gratitude. And gratitude fuels perspective. As 2 Timothy 4:7 says, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I ha

Leadership isn’t just about what happens on the mountaintop. It’s also about who you are in the valley—those long stretches between pressure and progress when results seem distant and the journey feels slow. Every CEO faces this pause. It’s the quiet middle ground where teams can lose focus, hope can fade, and leaders are tempted to dwell on what’s missing instead of what’s moving.  But what if this pause is where your leadership matters most?
