Resolution season is upon us. The runners and walkers around me were at the start of something new. A focus they had chosen. A challenge they decided to take on. As my excitement and pride for them grew, I realized how backwards our thinking around resolutions really is. If we only run for four days, we failed. If we cut out caffeine for a week, we failed. If we don’t complete a full 365-day challenge, that's failure?

How “yet” reshapes growth, learning, and leadership. If you have ever felt out of options as a leader, a coach, or a human trying to grow, this one is for you.

When the news feels overwhelming, it’s not just emotion — it’s neuroscience. Our brains naturally give more weight to vivid, recent stories, a pattern known as availability bias. Understanding this mental shortcut helps us steady our perspective, zoom out, and see the fuller picture beyond today’s headlines.
