How can leaders use data to make better decisions and drive real change? In this episode, Kevin talks with Sebastian Wernicke about why so many organizations invest heavily in data and AI yet still struggle to achieve breakthrough results. Sebastian explains the difference between being data-driven, data-frustrated, and data-inspired. He believes that data should not only confirm and optimize what organizations already do but also challenge assumptions, reveal unexpected possibilities, and inspire new directions. They explore common myths about data, including the belief that it is always objective, that deeper analysis will automatically reveal the right answer, and that complex decisions can be reduced to a simple yes or no. Sebastian also shares why leaders must balance depth with decisiveness and become more comfortable with uncertainty and probability. They also discuss the opportunities and risks of AI, particularly its tendency to fill in gaps and generate appealing answers based on hidden assumptions. About Sebastian Wernicke Sebastian Wernicke, Ph.D., is the author of Data Inspired: Building an Organizational Culture of Inquiry for Lasting Transformation. He is a partner at Oxera Consulting, one of Europe's oldest economics and finance consultancies, where he leads the data science and AI practice. Sebastian is a leading expert in data and AI strategy and a former Chief Data Scientist. For two decades, he has guided organizations around the world to achieve breakthrough transformation through the power of data. His ability to make complex topics around data accessible, engaging, and actionable has made Sebastian a sought-after speaker and workshop facilitator. His three acclaimed TED Talks have reached over 5 million viewers. For more information, follow Sebastian Wernicke on LinkedIn or visit www.datainspired.org.

You send people to training. They come back, and... nothing changes. So whose fault is that — the training? The trainer? The learner? Actually, there's a fourth option: you. There are two conversations every leader should be having around any training their team attends — one before, one after — and most of us aren't having either one consistently. In this episode, I walk through exactly what to say and ask in both conversations, so the training you're investing in actually turns into changed behavior. If you've got newer frontline leaders you want to set up for success, this is exactly the gap our From Bud to Boss program is built to close. Learn more: https://kevineikenberry.com/bud-to-boss/ 

How can leaders adapt their approach to give people what they need in each specific situation? In this episode, Kevin is joined by Suzie Bishop and Sam Shriver to revisit situational leadership and discuss why this decades-old model may be more relevant than ever. They explain how effective leadership begins by clearly identifying the task, skill, or behavior involved, then assessing an individual's ability, confidence, commitment, and motivation before choosing the right leadership response. Kevin, Suzie, and Sam discuss why no leadership style is inherently good or bad, how empowerment can feel like abandonment and direction can feel like micromanagement when misapplied, and why leaders must step beyond their comfort zones to serve others' needs.

How much do you forget after you learn something? A lot — probably more than you'd like to admit. Whether it's a training session, a podcast, a book, or a video like this one, most of what we learn slips away faster than we expect. In this episode, I share four things you can do to remember more and forget less: focus on the key points, make them findable, use spaced repetition, and have a learning partner. If we know we're going to forget the things we learn, let's have a plan for remembering the most important parts.

I can bet you want two things: a thriving team and a thriving culture. For a lot of us, they feel like a mirage — we can see them, but we can't quite get there. In this episode I sit down with Dr. Jamie Shapiro, author of Connected Culture: The New Science for Thriving Teams and Cultures, CEO coach, and organizational psychologist. We dig into why she calls culture an "operating system," her five C's model (with connection — care and trust — at the center), why clarity is a force multiplier and not bureaucracy, the difference between collaboration and teamwork, and how AI shows up differently in cultures built on trust versus fear.

Do you ever wonder why training doesn't stick? It's rarely about the quality of the training itself. In this episode, I break down the three things that have to happen for new skills to actually change how someone works — and why that almost never happens without help from their leader. I'll give you three specific questions to ask in a post-training one-on-one that close the knowing-doing gap and make training stick. Want more like this every week?

What does it take for groups of people to come together to do extraordinary things? Kevin sits down with Karina Mangu-Ward to discuss the habits that help teams thrive in complex and uncertain environments. Karina explains why exceptional teamwork requires more than a strong strategy, talented individuals, or simply working harder, and introduces three essential areas of focus: organizing for impact, deciding in uncertainty, and designing for learning. They talk about how living team charters keep people aligned as conditions change, how "even overs" clarify difficult tradeoffs between two valuable priorities, and why working in public allows teams to collaborate earlier, learn faster, and avoid wasted effort. Karina also encourages leaders to replace perfectionism with experimentation, create shared language around decision-making, and begin where there is energy rather than waiting for a company-wide mandate. About Karina Karina Mangu-Ward is the author of the forthcoming book Teams Who Meet the Moment: 9 Practices for Unlocking Performance and Growth in Uncertain Times . She is an organizational expert who has worked with PepsiCo, Planned Parenthood, Chanel and more and is a Partner at August. At August, she's had the privilege of working with some of the largest, most complex organizations in the world to shift their everyday ways of working. Before August, her adventures included conducting research on implicit bias, helping arts organizations behave as creatively behind the scenes as they do on stage, and running social innovation labs. If you buy Karina a coffee, she'd love to tell you how all of these experiences led her to exactly where she is now. Her motto is "get caught trying," which means she'd rather try and screw it up than not try at all. She lives with her partner and kids in Brooklyn, NY.

Have you ever been frustrated because someone on your team didn't do what you expected — but you never actually told them what you expected? In this episode, Kevin breaks down the "silent expectation" problem: why it guarantees future disappointment, why your assumptions aren't obvious to anyone but you, and why the fix starts with getting clear in your own head before you can get clear with your team. Unclear expectations are one of the biggest hidden costs in any organization — showing up as rework, frustration, and turnover. Clear, spoken expectations are a foundational skill of great leadership, and it's one of the core things we work on inside our Bud to Boss workshops, built for people who've just moved from peer to leader.

Leadership often feels like a series of competing demands: be confident, but humble. Be decisive, but compassionate. Kevin Eikenberry is joined by leadership coach and author Sally Netherwood to explore the paradox of modern leadership through the lens of her new book, Graceful Power. Together, they discuss the three pillars of graceful power—Congruence, Courage, and Compassion—and why becoming a more effective leader isn't about choosing one over the other, but learning to hold both with intention. If you're looking to lead with greater clarity, confidence, and impact, this conversation is full of practical insights you can apply right away. Sally's Story: Sally Netherwood is the author of Graceful Power: Solving the Paradox of Modern Leadership, and a world-class leadership coach with over 25 years' experience helping business leaders, entrepreneurs and change-makers feel clearer, braver and more effective. Drawing on tens of thousands of coaching hours, she offers leaders tangible strategies that create immediate improvements in performance, workplace culture and daily working life. After a decade in the fast-paced world of advertising at three of the world's top agencies, she now works with leaders from organizations including Expedia and DoorDash, helping them discover and embrace their Graceful Power, so they achieve far more with significantly less personal cost.

What if you paused? We live in a world that keeps getting faster — and that speed is exactly why pauses matter more than ever. In this episode I talk about four places pauses make the biggest difference: when we're communicating, when we're listening, before we decide, and as leaders overall. Because here's the thing — the pause is where leadership lives. I also share a question worth asking about your team's culture: does it reward the quick answer over the right answer? And a few ways to start building pauses into your team's norms. If you found this useful, you'll probably enjoy my weekly newsletter, Unleashing Your Remarkable Potential.

Why do so many organizational change efforts fall short, even when leaders know change is necessary? In this episode, Kevin talks with Kristy Ellmer about how change actually works and why successful transformation requires more than a plan, a process, or a compelling business case. Kristy explains that leaders often confuse alignment with true agreement, and that real progress begins when teams are willing to slow down, surface disagreement, and clarify how the change will happen. She also shares that involvement alone is not enough; people need agency and ownership to commit to building something new. Kevin and Kristy discuss the role of rituals, stories, and symbols in reducing cognitive load and helping people connect emotionally with the change, as well as why leaders must "earn the take-up" rather than assume people will adopt new behaviors simply because the change makes sense. About Kristy Ellmer Kristy Ellmer is the co-author of How Change Really Works: Seven Science-Based Principles for Transforming Your Organization. She is a Managing Director and Senior Partner at BCG and a former Chief Transformation Officer, with decades of experience leading multiyear transformations inside global organizations. She leads BCG's Transformation practice and co-founded BCG's Behavioral Science Lab and specializes in translating academic research on human behavior into practical change and transformation programs that deliver sustained results. She has led over 30 transformations in 27 countries in 14 sectors from mining to retail and previously was a manager at Delta Airlines during one of the most exemplary transformations in business history. Kristy's completion of the 29029 Everesting Challenge—climbing the vertical height of Mount Everest 19 times in under 36 hours after months of disciplined training—embodies the same change principles she applies professionally: sustained commitment, deliberate design, support systems, and faith in process over motivation. Her TED Talk on navigating change with confidence has been seen by over half a million people. She has an MBA from Mercer University and a B.A. from Roanoke College. She's based in Boston.

Are you what you do? James Clear says identity change is the North Star for habit change — and he's right. But it works the other way too: your habits are quietly shaping your identity. In this episode, I talk about the two-way loop between habits and identity, why "your labels, your limits" applies to how you see yourself, and what this means for the culture of your team — because culture is really just collective identity, shaped by collective habits.

Do you create the right amount of urgency? Urgency can help us take action, move faster, and get important work done. But too much urgency, or false urgency, can create pressure, confusion, and exhaustion without improving results. In this episode, Kevin Eikenberry explores the tension leaders face between moving quickly and rushing unnecessarily. You'll learn why context matters, how false urgency weakens real urgency, and why clear communication and timelines help create the right level of focus for the situation. The key: create urgency when it is needed, but avoid making everything feel like a fire.

Americans spend an average of 138 minutes a day worrying — that's 35 days a year lost to "what if." In this episode, I share a simple three-question framework that helps you figure out which worries deserve your attention and which ones you should just let go. It's not about pretending problems don't exist. It's about spending your mental energy where it actually counts. The three questions: 1. Is it a problem? 2. Is it important? 3. Can I change or influence the outcome? If the answer to any of those is no — let it go. If the answer to all three is yes — take action. I also cover what leaders and organizations can do to reduce worry on their teams, including how communication and feedback loops can lower anxiety and uncertainty in the workplace.

Last week I talked about the idea that our team members are our customers. This week, I'm taking that idea further. We spend a lot of time thinking about what we expect from our team. But expectations run both directions — do you know what your team expects from you? In this episode, I share four things that can help: thinking of your team as a customer, asking them directly what they want and need, listening without judgment, and creating a feedback loop so you can keep adjusting over time. If you don't know what your team wants and needs, how can you possibly deliver it to them? This idea is one piece of a bigger conversation I explore in my book, Flexible Leadership — about moving beyond what's comfortable so you can lead the way your team actually needs.

Most leaders assume they should lead others the way they would want to be led. It sounds reasonable—but it can actually limit your effectiveness. In this episode, I share a different perspective: your team members are your customers. And just like customers, they may need something different from you than what you would want yourself. If you want to become a more effective leader, it starts by understanding what your people need, adapting your approach, and creating an environment where they can do their best work. One of the most powerful things a leader can do is flex their approach to meet the needs of others. When you do that, everyone wins. This idea is at the heart of my book, Flexible Leadership: Navigate Uncertainty and Lead with Confidence.

Everyone is talking about AI. Most of the conversation focuses on productivity, automation, and efficiency. But I think leaders need a broader perspective. In this episode of Remarkable TV and the Remarkable Leadership Podcast, I share four ways AI can help you as a leader that go beyond simple productivity gains. While AI can certainly help you get more done, I believe its greatest value may be in helping you think, decide, and learn more effectively. In this episode, I discuss how AI can help you: ✅ Think more clearly and creatively ✅ Make better decisions by identifying patterns and possibilities ✅ Learn faster and deepen your understanding ✅ Increase productivity and effectiveness The bigger opportunity isn't simply using AI to leverage tasks. It's using AI to leverage human potential.

Confidence matters more in leadership than most people realize. In this episode of Remarkable TV, I'm sharing practical ways you can build confidence as a leader — not through ego or pretending, but through growth, progress, and intentional action. I'll walk you through: The confidence-competence loop Why confidence and skill reinforce each other How positive self-talk impacts leadership Why starting small matters How reflecting on progress builds momentum What organizations often miss when developing leaders One of the biggest lessons I've learned is this: confidence and competence build each other. The more progress we make, the more confidence we gain — and the more confidence we gain, the more willing we are to keep growing. A more confident leader is a more effective leader.

Micromanagement has always frustrated people. But I believe today's workplace may actually be making it worse. In this episode of Remarkable TV, I explore why modern work environments are increasing the pressure leaders feel to micromanage—and what we can do instead. In this episode, I talk about: Why poor leadership preparation still matters How remote and hybrid work increase micromanagement tendencies The role of technology, dashboards, Slack, and Teams Why complexity creates control-driven leadership How declining trust impacts workplace behavior What accountability really means for leaders If you've ever felt micromanaged—or worried you might be doing it yourself—I think this conversation will help you better understand the causes and move toward healthier leadership habits.

Most leaders believe an open door policy is automatically a good thing. I'm not so sure. In this episode, I share six questions every leader should ask about their open door policy — especially in hybrid and distributed workplaces. We'll explore: • why "open door" doesn't always mean accessible • how interruptions hurt leadership effectiveness • the dependency trap many leaders accidentally create • why uninterrupted work matters for leaders too Having an open door policy is a fine idea. But the door can't always be open. What do you think?

Most organizations make the same mistake: They promote their best performers into leadership roles... and expect success. But it doesn't always work. In this episode, I share why high performers often struggle when they become leaders — and what you can do about it. You'll learn: ✔ Why performance ≠ leadership readiness ✔ The mindset shift new leaders must make ✔ How organizations can better support the transition ✔ What to do when the promotion doesn't work out The transition to leadership isn't a reward — it's a completely different job. And if we don't prepare people for that shift, we set them (and their teams) up to fail.

Most people listen to podcasts… but never actually change anything because of them. Here's how to turn what you hear into real results. Podcasts can be one of the most powerful learning tools available—but only if you use them the right way.

Are you willing to ask for help? I've learned that asking for help isn't weakness—it's awareness. And as a leader, it can make all the difference in your results and your relationships. You've been there—I know I have. You're stuck. You know you could ask for help… but you don't. So the real question is: why? In this episode of Remarkable TV, I share why asking for help is one of the most important (and most overlooked) leadership habits—and what happens when we avoid it. Here's what I want you to think about: - Why asking for help is awareness, not weakness - The real cost of waiting too long to ask - How asking creates stronger connections and better results - Why, as leaders, we must model this behavior for others If we want more collaboration, better outcomes, and stronger teams, it starts with us being willing to ask.

Are you unintentionally slowing your team down by rewarding overpreparation? In this episode of Remarkable TV, I explore a leadership trap many of us fall into: equating more preparation with better results. But in today's fast-moving, uncertain world, that assumption can cost us time, momentum, and better decisions. You'll learn: Why "what gets rewarded gets done" matters more than you think The difference between progress and polish How overpreparation is often fear in disguise Why more prep doesn't always lead to better decisions How leaders set the tone for speed, clarity, and results If you want a team that moves faster, thinks better, and delivers results—not just polished presentations—this episode is for you.  Get my free Your Remarkable Day newsletter: https://KevinEikenberry.com/newsletters  My name is Kevin Eikenberry and I'm here to help you reach your goal as a leader and a human being with Remarkable TV and the Remarkable Leadership Podcast.

How often do you think about your habits? The reality is that a large portion of what we do every day is automatic. And while habits help us function efficiently, they can also quietly limit our growth—especially if we never stop to examine them. In this episode, I explore the double-edged nature of habits: why they are essential, why they can be dangerous, and how unexamined habits may be holding you—and your organization—back from improving. If you want to grow as a leader, it starts with awareness.

Clarity is one of the most powerful — and most overlooked — leadership advantages. When leaders are clear about goals, priorities, strategy, and expectations, their teams can perform at a much higher level. But when clarity is missing, confusion spreads quickly throughout the organization. In this episode of Remarkable TV, we explore a critical leadership question: Are your leaders clear?

Have you ever had an idea that felt perfectly clear in your head… until you tried explaining it? Suddenly someone asks a question, and the idea that seemed so solid starts to fall apart. In this episode, I explore a simple but powerful idea: thoughts are fuzzy, words bring clarity. When we put our thoughts into words—whether spoken or written—we begin to see them more clearly. That clarity helps us communicate better, strengthen relationships, and lead more effectively. I share why this happens and offer practical examples you can use immediately with your team and colleagues.

Are you thinking enough? In a world filled with constant notifications, endless meetings, and nonstop busyness, deep thinking has become rare. But leadership isn't built on reacting — it's built on thoughtful decisions. If you want better results, stronger influence, and smarter choices, you must protect time to think. In this episode, I'll share: Why modern work works against real thinking How automatic habits limit better leadership decisions What leaders should actually be thinking about How thinking sets you apart professionally 3 practical ways to schedule and protect thinking time Leadership is ultimately about decision-making. And better decisions require better thinking. If you're serious about growing as a leader, this may be the advantage you've been overlooking.

Are you trying to develop yourself on your own? Let's be clear: There is no such thing as a self-made leader. Leadership can be lonely — but you can't develop as a leader alone. In this episode of Remarkable TV, I talk about: ✔️ Why trying to "figure it out yourself" slows your growth ✔️ Why leadership development is a team sport ✔️ How to find your people ✔️ How to create a development process ✔️ Why feedback from your team matters more than you think ✔️ What organizations must do to support their leaders If you're serious about growing as a leader, the most important question isn't: "How can I do this myself?" It's: "Who's helping me grow?" If you'd like to talk about how we can support your leaders, email us at info@kevineikenberry.com for a no-obligation conversation.

Most leaders are told, "You need to delegate." And that's true — if you delegate correctly. But here's the real question I want you to consider: Are you delegating work… or developing people? In this episode of Remarkable TV and the Remarkable Leadership Podcast, I challenge the common view of delegation as simply a time-management tactic. Done poorly, delegation is just handing off tasks. Done well, it becomes one of the most powerful tools you have to develop others. In this episode, I'll walk you through: The critical difference between delegating work and developing people Three questions to help you diagnose your delegation mindset Why delegation isn't really about time management How organizations should rethink how they teach delegation Why delegation framed as coaching transforms your leadership impact If you want to grow as a leader — and help others grow too — this conversation matters.

Is coasting costing you? In this episode of Remarkable TV, I want to explore a simple but important question—when does coasting help us, and when does it quietly start holding us back? Coasting can absolutely be useful. It can save energy. It can give us needed rest. But if we aren't paying attention, coasting can also cause us to lose momentum, give up control, and drift away from intentional leadership. In this episode, I share: When coasting is helpful—and when it isn't Why coasting often leads to a loss of intentionality How resting too long can stall progress Why progress is often the hidden cost of coasting There is a time to coast and a time to accelerate—and both are a choice. The key is making sure your choice to coast is clear-eyed and intentional.

When are you cynical? It's a simple question—but an important one. Because cynicism doesn't just affect how you see the world. It affects what you learn, what you notice, and how you lead. In this episode of Remarkable TV, I explore what really happens when we become cynical—and why cynicism is less a personality trait and more a mental habit and choice. When we're cynical, we stop being curious, we stop learning, and our attitude (and the attitudes of those around us) suffers. The good news? Any habit can be changed. I'll share a simple but powerful replacement strategy that can help you move from cynicism to curiosity—so you can see more possibilities and lead more effectively.

Are your desires helping you move forward—or quietly getting in your way? In this episode of Remarkable TV, I share a simple but powerful leadership lesson inspired by intermittent fasting. While the example starts with food, the real message is about how momentary desires—often driven by habits and situations—can pull us off our long-term path. Desire is powerful. It can motivate us. But if we don't keep it in perspective, it can also distract us from the future we truly want.

I've said it for a long time: leadership is leverage. In this episode of Remarkable TV and the Remarkable Leadership Podcast, I explain why leadership is the key lever for creating greater focus, better collaboration, clearer communication, and stronger results in any organization. Big goals are rarely achieved alone. But simply putting people together doesn't guarantee success either. Leadership is what aligns effort, directs focus, and turns potential into performance. If you want better outcomes in your organization, the fastest and most effective place to invest is in your leaders.

The world doesn't get better unless someone leads — and that someone can be you. In this episode of Remarkable TV, I share why leadership is both a responsibility and an opportunity, and why you don't need a title, position, or all the answers to begin leading. Leadership can happen anywhere: On your team In your organization In your family In your community In this episode, I talk about: Why asking questions matters more than having answers Why leadership is about desire, not title The difference between seeing problems and actually leading How leadership helps move us toward a better future My hope is that this episode both excites you and stretches you — because that balance is where strong, humble leadership begins.

How can you improve your success rate on any new project? In this episode of Remarkable TV, I share a simple but powerful concept that can dramatically improve your results: Integration. This is the third episode in the New Year, New You series, and it builds on the first two ideas—Insight and Intention—to show you how to turn what you've learned into better outcomes going forward. Here's the core idea: Integration = Insight + Intention When you intentionally apply what you've learned from past experiences to your next plan, your chances of success go way up—on projects, goals, and even New Year's resolutions. In this episode, you'll learn: Why reflection alone isn't enough How insight and intention work together A simple way to increase your success rate on future projects How better inputs lead to better outcomes Want weekly leadership insight delivered to your inbox?

How can you be more intentional? Many leaders say they intend to do things—but intention alone doesn't create results. In this episode of Remarkable TV, I explain the difference between backward-looking intentions and the kind of forward-looking intentionality that actually drives action and change. In this video, you'll learn: The two kinds of intention—and which one actually works Why most resolutions fail by February How knowing your why fuels intentional action Why writing down your why matters just as much as writing goals How purpose-driven decisions lead to better leadership results This episode is part two of the New Year, New You series and builds on last week's conversation about insight. Together, insight and intention create momentum for meaningful growth.

Would you like to be more insightful? Insight is one of those leadership qualities we admire in others—but rarely think about as a skill we can develop. In this episode of Remarkable TV, Kevin Eikenberry shares a practical blueprint for becoming more insightful as a leader and as a human being. You'll learn: Why insight comes from slowing down—not speeding up How reflection turns experience into learning The power of asking better questions (of yourself and others) How making connections leads to better decisions Why "what if" thinking builds empathy and understanding How writing or talking ideas out helps lock insight in If you want to make better decisions, lead with greater clarity, and grow into a better version of yourself, this episode is for you.

We are all getting older. That part is unavoidable. But getting old is not the same thing. In this episode of Remarkable TV and the Remarkable Leadership Podcast, I challenge a phrase many people say without thinking I am getting old It sounds harmless, but it often becomes an excuse that limits our mindset, our curiosity, and our growth. What if getting old is not something that happens to us, but something we choose through the way we think and talk about ourselves? Let me ask you this While it is true that you are getting older, is getting old the choice you want to make?

What two words can make you smarter? In this episode of Remarkable TV, I share the surprisingly simple phrase that helps leaders think more clearly, make better decisions, and avoid the trap of automatic responses. These two words invite us into curiosity, reflection, and wiser choices—and they can change the way you lead starting today. When we say "It depends," we pause long enough to consider context, challenge our biases, and explore new solutions. And when we do that consistently, we become more flexible… and smarter. If you want to navigate uncertainty with clarity and confidence, this is a simple but powerful mindset shift.

How do you coach someone who only seems to do the bare minimum… even when you know they're capable of so much more? In this episode of Remarkable TV and The Remarkable Leadership Podcast, I share seven practical steps to help you coach, support, and clarify expectations for team members who may be meeting the minimum — but could be achieving more. You'll learn: ✔ Why expectations are almost always misunderstood ✔ How to explore their perspective before offering your perspective ✔ Why "minimum" might not mean what you think ✔ How to help people see the potential you see in them ✔ When to coach, when to support, and when to let it go If you're a leader who wants to help your people grow — especially new or frontline leaders — this episode will give you a simple framework to start the right conversations.

Too often, we measure our days by how much we get done—instead of by how much we contribute. In this episode, I'm sharing an idea that's stuck with me since a conversation years ago with Lisa O'Dell. She asked a simple but powerful question: Are you thinking about the clock or your contribution? That question changed how I think about productivity, focus, and leadership. It's not about racing the clock or checking off boxes—it's about doing the few things that truly move the needle. Join me as I explore how to: Shift from busyness to meaningful accomplishment Focus on what truly matters to your team and organization Use a simple daily question to clarify your priorities If you'd like to help your team become more productive in ways that really matter, we've curated practical tools, videos, and learning resources to help you do just that.

What's the most important thing you need to achieve your goals? It isn't the target—it's your why. In this episode, I share a story about The Biggest Loser (yes, the reality show!) and how I could often predict who would win before the competition even began. The secret? It all came down to their reasons—their why. Whether your goals are personal or professional, the same truth applies: the clearer and stronger your why, the greater your chance of success. If you've ever felt stuck, unmotivated, or unsure how to reach your goals, this episode will help you reconnect with your purpose and reignite your drive.
