Strengthen your mind by taking on a challenge that stretches you.
Not the easy kind. The kind that forces you to think sharply, act with discipline, and stay steady when you’d rather retreat. Growth doesn’t happen in the shallow end.
These past couple months have been exactly that for me on two fronts.
In my full‑time role, I’ve been leading projects as a stopgap until I can hire someone new. That means learning the ins and outs, the technical layers, and the players involved — fast. It’s required a different level of focus and adaptability.
At the same time, I’m building a new workbook for Ivy Tech series to help businesses lay a strong foundation. It’s meaningful work, but it’s also pushing me into new territory and demanding more of me as a creator and leader.
Both challenges have stretched me. Both have grown me.
And both have reminded me of this truth:
When you choose the challenge instead of waiting for comfort, you discover you’re capable of far more than you imagined.
