Every relationship runs on an invisible ratio. When criticism outweighs enjoyment and appreciation, trust and energy start to fade.
In this episode, I share a simple but powerful principle that transforms how you lead, work, and live: more enjoyment than critique.
Because when appreciation leads, connection and performance follow.

249: Space Is Not a Luxury: The Leadership Shift That Changes Everything
Monday Oct 06, 2025
Monday Oct 06, 2025
Most leaders don’t fail from lack of intelligence - they fail from lack of space.
In today’s world of noise and busyness, space isn’t a luxury - it’s the master key to clarity, performance, and presence.
In this episode, I share why space matters, stories from leaders who discovered its power, and simple metaphors to bring it home.
The takeaway?
No space, no clarity. No clarity, no presence.
Most of us spend our lives firefighting problems. But lasting change doesn’t come from fixing - it comes from redesigning.
In this episode, I explore what I call Results by Design: a way of thinking that shifts you from chasing problems to creating outcomes. You’ll hear practical examples, a real-life leadership story, and a metaphor that will change how you approach recurring challenges forever.
