Choosing to be a World Champion at Life

Yesterday we hosted the first Surrender to Lead Summit. The conversation moved fast from aspiration to responsibility. Meredith Kessler’s keynote hit me hard. She talked about judgment under pressure, the kind where stakes are real, consequences creep in slowly, and ego hides as certainty.

She made a choice most leaders never stop to make. She could have chased the title, but she chose purpose instead. She “chose to be a world champion at life rather than a world champion at Kona.” That clarity exposes a leadership problem: too many people push momentum without checking if it’s still serving the mission.
