“The pace of grace—the sweet spot between great results and genuine rest.”
“Jesus fulfilled everything that was ever spoken about him, he did it in three years, and you never hear about him running to his next appointment.”
“It doesn’t matter if your business is successful if you’re not successful. It doesn’t matter if you get another award if your children don’t like you. It doesn’t matter if everybody knows your name, but you can’t stand to hear it be called by one more person.”
“Pace directly affects peace, and peace is true prosperity.”
“Success is not just where you end up, but how you get there.”
“We need you as a leader much longer than you are set up to last right now.”

“Empathy values someone else’s different experience instead of judging them because of it.”

Dr. Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic
“The purpose of leadership is to make others better.”
“Effective leadership in a crisis involves intelligence, curiosity, humility, resilience, empathy, and integrity.”
“Experience is what you get when you did not get what you wanted to get.”
“We shouldn’t have needed a pandemic to remind ourselves that people, societies, organizations, and cultures are generally better off when their leaders are smart, kind, and honest.”
“Don’t just hire for culture fit. Embrace people who are cognitively diverse.This is how you avoid groupthink and systemic bias when everyone thinks the same way.”
Gary Haugen
“Perhaps no quality is more desperately needed for leaders today than far-sighted steadiness.”
“As a leader there is no way I can offer far-sighted steadiness in a state of breathless hurry.”
“If you don’t stop moving and let steady Jesus dial down the insistent insecurities of self and the jacked up fears of team and tribe, you are going to be part of the problem, and not even close to being part of the solution.”
“We don’t need more lessons from history. We know leadership matters.”
Lysa Terkeurst
“Innovation is a matter of survival.”
“Innovation is the mystery someone on your team is dying to solve, if only we will make them feel safe enough to do so.”
“You deserve to stop suffering because of what other people have done to you.”
“Trade your pain for perspective. Exchange that wounding for wisdom.”
“Forgiveness is a decision and it’s a process.”
“It’s often your feelings that will be the very last thing to sign on to forgiveness.”
“God’s forgiveness has flowed to me so now I just must cooperate and let it flow through me.”
“Forgiveness is made possible through cooperation with what Jesus has already done.”
“Jesus knows the human heart was not made to carry the weight of unforgiveness.”
“Forgiveness quiets the chaos between us.”
“Getting off the blank page is worthy work.”
“We give grace because we desperately need it.”
“This is a safe place for imperfect progress.”
“Forgiveness paves the road for redemption no matter how our story goes.”
“Forgiveness is crucial to your survival and it’s impossible without forgiveness.”
