GUTS

In my recent GUTS conversation with Susan Asiyanbi, an executive strategist and founder of the Olori Network, she offered a profound reframing of how we handle life’s unfinished business.

In my GUTS conversation with executive coach and brain tumor survivor Luis Velasquez, he challenged this mantra with a perspective forged through real-world survival. Luis suggests that the "step out" model is often a recipe for paralysis.

What I am learning is that my role is not to guide these conversations forward, but to protect the space where they can remain open. To resist the urge to clarify too quickly. To allow silence to do its work. To trust that conversation does not need an ending to be meaningful.
