An Inspired Poem: Being a Good Ancestor
To be a good ancestor, the legacy's seed,
Planting wisdom and hope for the yet-to-be's need,
In the soil of time, where our actions take root,
A garden awaits, where the virtues bear fruit.
A bridge to the future, our deeds and our lore,
A pathway well-lit for those on the shore,
The whispers of love, the courage we share,
Echo through ages, a song on the air.
In the dance of the seasons, the laugh of the stream,
A promise unspoken, a shared common dream,
To care for the Earth, its peo…
Breaking Through the "That's How We've Always Done It" Barrier
Change is the only constant in life, and the same holds true for organizations. There comes a pivotal moment in every organization's lifecycle when change is not merely an option but a requisite for growth and survival. Yet, when leaders seek to implement transformative changes, they often confront a monolithic wall of resistance labeled, "That's how we've always done it." But great leaders, leaders who are grounded, know how to navigate this resistance to bring about effective organizational ch…

An Inspired Poem: Embrace Your Inner Oddity
Sing not the song of common creed,
But let your quirks and oddities lead,
For in those twists and turns of mind,
A unique you, the world will find.
A walk that's strange, a laugh that's wild,
An imagination of a child,
Embrace these things, hold them dear,
They're what make you, you, quite clear.
What some may call your 'weird,' your 'strange,'
Is your beauty, broad in range,
A mystic dance, a vibrant flare,
An individual soul, so rare.
Let not the world your spirit tame,
Let not th…

An Inspired Poem: Seeds of Tomorrow
In gardens of commerce and fields of thought,
A regenerative leader tirelessly sought,
Not merely to take but to plant anew,
Seeds of wisdom, love, and virtue.
With hands soiled in care and mind robust,
A vision clear, in future trust,
Sows ideas like trees that grow,
Roots entrenched where bright tomorrows glow.
Not for the now, but for what's ahead,
For those unseen, unheard, unfed,
A conscious path that minds the Earth,
A way of leading, giving birth.
To dreams sustainable, pure, …
