“My ship becomes the sea, I chart a new course, once beyond my imagining.”
Change is inevitable. Disruption is relentless. The leaders who thrive are those who do not merely react to change but embrace it—who recognize that resilience is not about standing firm in a storm but about becoming fluid, adaptable, and forward-moving.
