Appendicitis was not on my bingo card 🙃
I do not know where September went. If you’ve been following along, the month started in my sweet spot. I spent two days in Atlanta leading the Awareness to Action Retreat with six powerhouse leaders. Then I recorded a 5-episode
September is almost gone
This month I shared four fascinating findings from our data on 500+ high-capacity leaders. 48% score lowest in Physical, the foundation everything else runs on. Purpose is high. Fuel is low. Leaders score 9.0 on meaning and 5.5 on breathing.
The thing your strongest leaders aren’t saying
Of all the findings from our 500+ leader data set, this one is the sneakiest. And the most costly. “I have trustworthy guides actively supporting me” averaged 6.0 out of 10. Sixth lowest of all statements we track. This has
The most crowded room in leadership
Two weeks ago I told you that 48% of leaders score lowest in Physical. Last week I showed you the gap between purpose and fuel. Today’s finding is the one that tends to cause head scratching and eyes bulging. 🤔

Most leaders don’t actually know how they’re doing.
Not because they’re not paying attention. Because no one has ever asked them the right questions. I’ve had hundreds of high-capacity leaders take our proprietary 120-question Wholeness Assessment over the last six years. What surprises them most isn’t their lowest
I’ve never said this publicly before
I’ve never said this publicly before. My dream is for Ezer & Co. to be an eight-figure company. Why? Because if leaders don’t learn to lead themselves first, the future of leadership is just more of what we already have.
Your team deserves better than a motivation poster.

SURPRISE: it’s finally here
Okay. I’ve been holding this in for way.too.long, and I’m not good at holding happy surprises. In the 7 years of leading Ezer & Co., the two most common pushbacks I’ve heard are: “April, I want to work with you,
