   Episode 92- Sunday Reset With Steven | 21 Sep 2025- Ordinary Is What Builds Extraordinary

   🎥 Sunday Reset With Steven | 21 Sep 2025 🌻 Comparing Yourself Kills Progress - Because Ordinary Is What Builds Extraordinary The other week, I caught myself slipping into comparison. Scrolling. Seeing promotions, milestones, “big wins.” And for a moment, I thought: “I’m behind.” But then I remembered: In nature, no two flowers bloom at the same time. Even in the same garden - roses open one by one, while sunflowers stand tall weeks later. Each follows its own rhythm. And none is late. Theodore Roosevelt said it best: “Comparison is the thief of joy.” Their season has nothing to do with mine. And yours has nothing to do with anyone else’s. A reminder on the Sunday Reset. During the week, I work with boards and leaders at the intersection of AI, governance, and transformation. But these Sunday resets? They’re about stripping back the noise and focusing on what’s real. Here is why I’m fired up about this: In a meeting last week, a team’s progress was brushed aside because it “wasn’t extraordinary enough.” Late nights. Solid results. Real effort. Dismissed because it didn’t look like a unicorn headline. Imagine that! I’ll be honest- it hit me. Because this is the trap we all fall into: We discount the ordinary. We trample steady effort. We forget that without the ordinary, the extraordinary never comes. Serena Williams didn’t become the GOAT by hitting extraordinary shots every day. She hit thousands of ordinary forehands in practice. In business: Great boards don’t transform because of one flashy decision. They become extraordinary through the ordinary rhythm of governance done well. Your reset this week: 1️⃣ Celebrate ordinary progress that compounds. 2️⃣ Resist comparing your chapter to someone else’s. 3️⃣ Remember: today’s ordinary is tomorrow’s extraordinary. 📚 If you want to dive deeper: ▫️Act Like a Leader, Think Like a Leader - Herminia Ibarra. About stepping in before you feel ready. ▫️Advocates & Enemies - Colin Gautrey. A practical guide to navigating influence and stakeholders. Both tie back to this: Being yourself in your lane. Ordinary choices. Ordinary actions. Extraordinary results. Make the ordinary come alive - and the extraordinary will take care of itself. Keep growing. Keep leading. Until next Sunday. Let’s get it!

   Episode 91 - Sunday Reset with Steven | 14 Sept 2025 Excellence Isn’t Always the Goal…

   🎥 Sunday Reset with Steven | 14 Sept 2025 Excellence Isn’t Always the Goal… We are taught from childhood to chase excellence. Top marks. Perfect scores. 100%. Get everything right. Be perfect. (Exhausting!) And in some places, that is indeed non-negotiable. Of course, I want my pilot, surgeon, scientist or bridge engineer aiming for 100%! But here is the uncomfortable truth: In life, entrepreneurship. In leadership. In transformation. Excellence can kill momentum. In case you are new to these Sunday resets… They are about stripping back to what matters- growth, reflection, and action. At a private session a couple of weeks ago, an entrepreneur put it bluntly: “Education teaches excellence. Entrepreneurship thrives on speed.” Startups or even companies with that mindset, don’t wait for flawless. They hit 65–70%, but three times faster than everyone else. Because speed lets you test, adjust, and learn. Perfection waits. Hesitates. And misses the window. Think of a musician rehearsing. They don’t lock themselves away until every note is flawless. They step into the rhythm, play with others, and refine in motion. The music comes alive not because it’s perfect, but because they dared to play before they were ready. I have had to unlearn this myself. In boardrooms and programmes, I was wired to chase flawless execution. (And those documents and PowerPoints - trying to make it perfect!) But the biggest wins came when I moved fast with “good enough”… and refined later. Reid Hoffman, LinkedIn’s founder, said it best: “If you are not embarrassed by the first version of your product, you’ve launched too late.” Here’s your reset this week: Pick one task, decision, or project you’ve been stalling on, because you’re waiting for “perfect.” Commit to moving forward at 70%. Ship it. Share it. Start it. Because progress will beat perfection -every time. Keep growing. Keep leading. Until next Sunday Let’s get it!
