“Nothing is more effective when it comes to reaching potential than commitment to personal growth.”
At Everyday Leaders, we believe growth doesn’t happen by accident—it happens by decision.
As 2025 begins to close, I want to invite you to pause for one intentional moment. Not to rush ahead. Not to judge what you didn’t do. But to reflect with honesty, courage, and hope.
Take a moment and ask yourself:
What has made me come alive in 2025?
Where did I feel energized, aligned, and fully myself?
What is one thing I learned this year?
About leadership. About people. About me.
What do I want to make stick in 2026?
A habit. A mindset. A value. A discipline.
What would it feel like if I committed to personal growth in one area—the one that would make the biggest impact on my life and leadership?
Here’s the truth:
Growth requires courage. It asks us to show up before we feel ready. To choose consistency over comfort. To believe that who we are becoming matters.
And just as important—nothing worthwhile is accomplished alone.
Personal growth flourishes in community, with accountability, encouragement, and people who believe in your potential even when you hesitate to believe it yourself. That’s why Everyday Leaders exists—to walk this journey with you.
As we look toward 2026, I want to challenge you:
Be courageous enough to name your next step.
Be humble enough to invite support.
Be committed enough to make it stick.
Your growth matters.
Your leadership matters.
And the next version of you is waiting on one brave decision.
You’re Invited: Everyday Devotionals Every Morning at 7:30 AM est.
What would change if you made one small, faithful commitment to your personal growth—every single day?
Since October 1, 2019, the Everyday Leaders community has gathered every morning at 7:30 AM est for Everyday Devotionals, to gain clarity, courage, and confidence in our own personal growth. Day after day. Season after season. Not perfectly—but consistently.
This is your invitation to join us.
These devotionals are a simple, powerful way to:
Anchor your day in purpose and perspective
Strengthen your mindset, faith, and leadership
Build the habit that makes growth stick
Walk alongside others who believe nothing worthwhile is accomplished alone
You don’t need to have it all figured out.
You just need to show up.
If you’ve been looking for a place to begin—or renew—your everyday commitment to personal growth, this is it. One moment each morning. One decision to grow. Together.
Join us every weekday at 7:30 AM and start your Everyday commitment today to grow.
What will you commit to growing in next?


My word for 2026 is Courageous. I need to join this😊
