The EDGE

Where grounded insight becomes courageous action.

Once you’ve done the inner work to steady your roots, the EDGE phase helps you stretch — to lead boldly, communicate clearly, and empower others without losing your humanity.
This is where leadership stops being theory and starts becoming legacy.

E – Empathy

Focus: Lead with understanding before directing.
Prompt:

  • Who on my team needs to feel seen right now?

  • When was the last time I truly listened without preparing my response?

  • How does empathy shape accountability in my leadership style?

“Empathy isn’t softness — it’s connection that builds trust.”

D – Discipline

Focus: Align consistency with values.
Prompt:

  • Where am I holding others accountable but letting myself off the hook?

  • What routines or boundaries protect my integrity?

  • Which one daily habit would make me a more effective leader this month?

“Discipline turns intention into credibility.”

G – Growth

Focus: Stretch into discomfort to find new capacity.
Prompt:

  • What challenge am I avoiding that could grow me the most?

  • How do I respond when feedback stings?

  • What lesson did my last mistake try to teach me?

“Growth rarely feels graceful — but it always builds grit.”

E – Empowerment

Focus: Lead others to lead themselves.
Prompt:

  • Where can I delegate to build trust instead of control?

  • How often do I invite others’ ideas before deciding?

  • What’s one way I can amplify another person’s voice this week?

“Empowered leaders create empowered teams.”
