People before Progress
There is no achievement in isolation. Nobody does it alone. If you want to perpetuate progress, create sustainable achievement — you need to sustain a collective. You don’t only need goals.

When we let go and trust– trust our preparation, our practice, our process – it frees us to be present and function most effectively with the tools we already have.

It’s a function of the real work: the uncomfortable work to let go of what we already know and trust that there’s something greater on the other side. A cultivated belief that we can depart from the status quo – about ourselves, our teams, our companies – and realize our potential beyond it.
