If you're striving to lead consciously, foster better teamwork, and level up your self-awareness, this episode is packed with actionable takeaways for you. Key Takeaways and Insights: 1. Radical Responsibility Embrace ownership for every situation Avoid blame, shame, and guilt — they stem from toxic fear Replace blame with curiosity: "What can I learn from this?" 2. Learning Through Curiosity Always stay in learner mode “Above the line” vs “Below the line” mentality Stay open, curious, and committed to truth—not being “right” Framework: What I know / What I know I don't know / What I don't know I don't know 3. Feeling All the Feelings  Fully experiencing emotions to completion Use head, heart, and gut to inform decisions Yoga, breathwork, and meditation as helpful tools 4. Speaking Candidly  Tell the truth with kindness Speak unarguable facts and feelings: “I feel ___ because ___” Avoid conflict avoidance and passive communication 5. Eliminating Gossip  Address issues directly with the person involved Gossip is rooted in unmet communication and inability to process feelings Test for gossip: Negative intent or unwilling to say it to the person? Then it's gossip. 6. Practicing Integrity  Express truth, keep agreements, and take 100% responsibility Framework for impeccable agreements: Make clear commitment Keep it Renegotiate if needed Clean up broken commitments 7. Generating Appreciation Practice giving and receiving appreciation fully Celebrate the small things and appreciate yourself and your team Create a culture of gratitude and acknowledgment 8. Excelling in Your Zone of Genius  Identify what you're uniquely talented at and enjoy doing Ross shares his own strengths: presenting, writing, people leadership Reallocate more time to activities in your “genius zone” 9. Living a Life of Play and Rest Incorporate humor, spontaneity, and celebration into work Rest is a challenge, but vital for sustainable leadership Play isn't frivolous—it's a leadership asset 10. Exploring the Opposite Train your mind to challenge your own stories and embrace opposing truth Ross advocates for intellectual debates to stretch perception Ask: “What am I not seeing?” 11. Being the Source of Approval, Control & Security  Identify the root wants driving your behavior Seek internal rather than external validation Approval, control, and security must be self-sourced, not dependent on others 12. Having Enough of Everything  Abundance mindset vs scarcity Perspective: Ross shares personal examples of past financial hardship GRATITUDE = enoughness 13. Seeing the World as an Ally Every person and situation is an opportunity to grow Learn from everyone, regardless of status or age Let go of ego and embrace humility in learning 14. Creating Win-for-All Solutions  Build solutions that serve everyone involved—self, others, organization, and the whole Ross: “I'm rooting for you, whether you're at Foundation or not.” 15. Being the Resolution Don't just wait for change — BE the change Leave the world better because you existed Make an impact beyond yourself  Resources & Tools:

What separates organizations that thrive in uncertainty from those that struggle? In this episode, Luca Dellanna - management consultant, researcher, and author - explores how companies can move beyond theoretical decision-making to ensure real-world execution and resilience. In this episode, Luca unpacks key concepts like ergodicity, antifragility, and the role of behavioral dynamics in shaping organizational effectiveness. Stating how “Decision-making is only as good as execution,” he emphasizes the need for organizations to create systems that surface problems early and drive real adaptation.He also challenges the notion that architecture alone can ensure antifragility, suggesting that qualitative insights, cultural alignment, and leading by example are all essential in building adaptable organizations.In this episode, Luca provides a reality check on common management approaches, indicating why many organizations fail to turn strategy into action. He highlights why leadership by proclamation is ineffective without visible commitment, how organizations often create misaligned incentives, and why cultural shifts require more than just top-down mandates. Drawing from real-world examples, he also shares how true organizational change comes from daily, repetitive micro-level decisions.Tune in, as we discuss how to avoid the cost of irreversible consequences, and instead structure for long-term wins that build anti-fragile organizations prioritizing survival over performance.

We have spent the last two weeks looking at scriptural context for our mission and vision statements, and we have seen the heart of Jesus. He is our King, and this is what He has sent us to be and do in His kingdom. What really excites me about this is how much these statements represent what you already are and do. Let’s look today at the mission and vision alive in you.

This weekend we end of the Gesima Sundays and prepare to enter the season of Lent. Lent points us to the Love of God which is revealed in His work of salvation in the work of Jesus. It is fitting as we prepare to focus on that salvation that we reflect on the great LOVE of God which was caused our salvation.  The hymn that will be the focus of our service this weekend is the hymn "Love Divine, all Love Excelling" by Charles Wesley. Wesley grew up in the Anglican church but founded what we know today as the Methodist Church. Their focus was on Bible study and the work of God the Holy Spirit who brings us to faith, which we can see come out in this hymn. The hymn is addressed to Jesus, the "Love Divine" with a prayer that He would continue His work of salvation, begun at the cross, in us through the Holy Spirit. It reminds us that God work is not completed when we are brought to faith, but continues on throughout our lives, until we are called out of this life to our home of heaven. This hymn highlights all the way through the work of God's love for mankind. While it doesn't specifically mention our sin, it show our utter weakness and inability to save ourselves. It is God's love -- and it alone -- that accomplishes our redemption and sanctification. Join us as we study this hymn about the love of God shows in both Christ's redemption and the Spirit's work of sanctification. Rejoice in that perfect LOVE of God!
