Twenty-five years later, what should we carry forward from September 11? For me, it starts with service, courage, and responsibility. I keep a piece of steel from the World Trade Center on my desk. It reminds me of the 343, the families who lost loved ones, and everyone who chose to help.

What is the role of humility in leadership? Humility is not weakness. It is foundational to influence. Leaders who admit what they don’t know, credit their teams, and embrace learning build trust and loyalty. Confidence paired with humility inspires followership.

There are moments in the life of a community that ask us to pause. #MemorialDay is one of them. It is a day to remember those who gave their lives in service to others, especially the first responders, military personnel, and public servants who answered the call knowing the risks.

30 years ago today, 168 people were killed in Oklahoma City by a fellow American who believed political grievance justified mass murder. The community's response became known as the Oklahoma Standard: helpers who didn't wait to be asked, who ran toward danger, who gave without hesitation.
