  • The Character Audit: Strengthening the Foundation
    Jan 23 2026

    Today, I’m giving you a practical tool to do just that. Based on the principles from John Maxwell’s Developing the Leader Within You 2.0 and Gordon MacDonald’s Building Below the Waterline, here is your Leadership Character Audit.

    If we’re honest, most of us don't know where our foundation is cracking until the building starts to lean. We need a way to inspect the "below the waterline" part of our lives before the sinkhole appears.

  • Why Character is Your Ultimate Ceiling
    Jan 9 2026

    In my years of coaching leaders in small businesses, non-profits, and churches, I’ve seen a recurring tragedy: talented leaders who build incredible organizations, only to have them collapse because their "inner world" wasn't strong enough to support their "outer world."

    Here is the reality: you cannot grow past or lead beyond what your character allows. Your skills might get you to the top, but only your character will keep you there.

    Dec 12 2025

    Today, we have to talk about something that is killing organizations from the inside out and driving away your best people. We have to talk about Toxic Culture.
