Why Being Present in Meetings Matters More Than You Think

Why Being Present in Meetings Matters More Than You Think

Why breakthrough moments don’t happen in PowerPoint—they happen in conversation

Every once in a while, a conversation hits different.

You walk away with clarity. Not because someone gave you a perfect plan. But because they gave you space to explore the truth undearneath the surface.

That’s what transformation looks like.

The Real Work of Change

It’s not about slogans or vision statements.
It’s about showing up with curiosity and helping others see clearly.

In one recent meeting, I watched a leadership team shift their entire mindset.
Not because of a diagram or slide deck—but because of one question:

“What if the thing we’re resisting is the very thing that could unlock our next level of growth?”

Try Asking These in Your Next Strategy Session

  • What if the comfort of what we’ve always done is what’s holding us back?

  • What if clarity comes after the decision, not before?

  • What if we already have what it takes—and just need permission to start?

Transformation doesn’t require a perfect plan.
It starts with the courage to ask the right questions.
