For the last two or three years, something has been growing quietly inside me — a set of ideas, insights, and revelations about alignment, clarity, and the way we move through life. I didn’t have a name for it. I didn’t have a structure for it. I just knew it was there, waiting. The catalyst that finally brought it forward was a leadership conference called Lead On Fire , created and led by my friend Temika Younger , the powerhouse behind Virginia Adult Care Education (VACE).
