“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work.” – Steve Jobs

It's easy to get lost in the whirlwind of decisions, strategies, and daily demands. We have all heard the mantra to unplug, but how many of us truly take it to heart? It’s not just about logging off; it’s about stepping away to reassess and return with a fresh perspective.

Why Unplugging is a Strategic Move for Leadership Growth and Personal Transformation

Why Investing in Executive Training is Crucial


As senior leaders, we navigate a maze of successes and setbacks, striving to be better versions of ourselves. But here is a truth we often overlook: balancing our professional persona with our personal selves, while wrestling with our internal struggles, is crucial. We all have our demons, and they don’t just vanish with a few motivational quotes or quick fixes.


That’s why I’m taking a step back to unplug a bit — I am hitting pause for two weeks. Why? To invest in executive training to sharpen my skills and refresh my vision and strategic leadership - that's the unplugging! It is a step forward in the belief that real transformation starts with (1) being self-aware of one's limitations and flaws, and (2) the willingness to invest in oneself.
