The more we can trust, the more we can grow. There’s a positive correlation between the amount of trust we have and the weight of discomfort we can handle and grow from. Trust is essential to overcoming the uncomfortable and uncertain because it provides the internal foundation needed to step forward. When you’ve cultivated trust, you believe in your capacity to navigate and endure any difficult situation ahead.

The more attached we are to an outcome, the less likely we are to realize it. Attachment to results leaves us fighting current circumstances instead of working with them. When we let go and trust– trust our preparation, our practice, our process – it frees us to be present and function most effectively with the tools we already have.

Growth is not just a function of better strategy, more grit, and harder work. It’s a function of the real work: the uncomfortable work to let go of what we already know and trust that there’s something greater on the other side. A cultivated belief that we can depart from the status quo – about ourselves, our teams, our companies – and realize our potential beyond it.

Supporting others through challenging times isn’t just about solving their problems. It’s about the presence to acknowledge their hardships, stand in them and face whatever is to come, together.

So, here are a few things I don’t travel without…

At a time when AI converses with us like friends, augmented reality changes how we see the world around us and computer-generated content blurs the line between fiction and reality, what can be trusted? The very senses we rely on to interpret and navigate our surroundings are under siege by technologies that can mimic, manipulate, and manufacture realities seemingly indistinguishable from the truth. We need to understand what’s real in our work and our lives to be able to take the right actions.
