Reader, thanks for pausing to celebrate with me! This week's #ShowUpPositive Spark, WISDOM, is inspired by my age. After walking upon this earth for five decades, I have definitely gained some wisdom. There is no denying experience is a mighty teacher. With each success and humility, there is an opportunity to garner more wisdom. Reader, I also notice that much of this wisdom goes unnoticed until it is shared with others.

Promoting a star performer should feel like a win, but too often, it quietly unravels a team. Marcus is an absolute powerhouse. He solves complex system outages before anyone else can pinpoint the glitch. So promoting him to Team Lead seems like the natural reward. Two weeks later, the project Marcus' group is leading hits a major bump. Marcus defaults back to his technical know-how. He yanks back the work and doubles down on checking every minor detail, sometimes working 14-hour days....
Hey Reader, the world does a really damn good job of teaching us how to hustle, but a terrible job of teaching us how to align. From the time you were a child, you were placed in an invisible comparison trap. You were compared to your siblings, your neighbors, or your classmates. You internalized this cultural expectation and it became this default thought and behavior pattern: you must constantly earn your place, your visibility, and your accolades. And guess what? That childhood hunger for...
