The Leadership Revolt #12

Reclaim your power with this...

Hello Reader,

Today’s message is for those who find themselves weary, angry, scared, or without hope.

Tuesday was tough. Today, we are standing in the aftermath of a polarized election, bracing for a turbulent four-plus years. Uncertainty abounds.

It is okay not to be okay. You don't have to get over it.

Take whatever time you need. Lament. Sit. Cry. Rest.

And when you are ready...

Focus.

It is in our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light. - Aristotle Onassis

Big Thought

Focus is your superpower.

In a world that demands your participation yet devalues your contributions, focus is your superpower. Focus is not just a habit but an intentional act of reclaiming your agency, especially during challenging times. Focus helps you understand that every battle is not your fight. Every lesson is not your lesson to learn. Focus is equally about what you will do as it is about what you will not do. You get to choose where to invest your energy and focus—channeling it into spaces that honor your values and amplify you.

Where will you choose to cast your cares? Where will you place your focus?
