Jim Keyes’ “C-Suite of Learning” offers a roadmap for authentic leadership grounded in curiosity, critical thinking, and character. This week’s truth explores how leaders move from intelligence to wisdom — and why lifelong learning is essential to sustaining personal freedom, integrity, and democratic responsibility.
...Jim Keyes’ story shows that education is far more than academic preparation—it’s the doorway to freedom, character, and opportunity. This week’s truth explores how lifelong learning shapes authentic leaders and why the path to wisdom begins with curiosity. As we honor Keyes as the 2025 Authentic Leader Award recipient, we’re reminded that the freedom to rise begins with learning.
...When markets shift or uncertainty looms, authentic leaders don’t retreat—they adapt. Drawing from Jim Keyes’ “C.E.O.” philosophy—Change Equals Opportunity—this week’s truth explores how courage, confidence, and clarity can turn disruption into growth. As we honor Keyes as the 2025 Authentic Leader Award recipient, we’re reminded that every challenge is an invitation to lead forward.
...The Authentic Leadership Foundation is honored to join North Texas Giving Day 2025 for the second year. Our Campaign Towards Greatness equips Catholic high school students and educators to discover their virtuous path to greatness. With early giving open now and the big day set for September 18, your gift helps form courageous, faith-filled leaders for tomorrow.
...What if leadership wasn’t about securing your role—but preparing someone else to rise in it? In today’s world of competitive workplaces, the idea of “training your replacement” feels radical. But in a mission-driven culture, it’s essential. This week, we explore why the best leaders are always mentoring—and what that says about the kind of legacy we leave behind.
...This June, we’ll present the inaugural High School Authentic Leader Award—honoring one young man and one young woman who lead with integrity, courage, and service. Their example is proof that greatness starts within. Join us at Rise to Greatness 2025 and witness it firsthand.
...Have you ever considered the impact of learning with your child—not as the expert, but as a fellow student? When parents remain open to growth and demonstrate humility in front of their kids, it sends a powerful message: leadership begins at home. Too often, kids only realize what their parents tried to teach them after they’ve made mistakes—or worse, when they wish their parents had told them the truth in the first place. But when a parent says, “I’m still learning, too,” it creates a shared moment that may echo for years to come.
...“The New is hidden in the Old, and the Old is unveiled in the New.” —St. Augustine
When Passover and Holy Week fall together, it’s more than a calendar coincidence—it’s a sacred convergence. In this rare overlap, we see the continuity of salvation history unfold before us: from the Exodus to the Cross, from the blood of the lamb in Egypt to the blood of the Lamb of God. One story. One plan. One Savior.
...“He wasn’t perfect. He forgot things sometimes. He got tired, even cranky (That’s when he knew he needed a cigarette!). But there was something unmistakable about him—something different.”
...At first glance, most of us would instinctively answer, “Giver.” But before we settle on an easy answer, let’s take a moment to reflect more deeply. Catholic Social Tradition offers a profound vision of work—not merely as an economic exchange but as a calling, informed by the Logic of Gift. This perspective contrasts sharply with the Logic of the Market, where nothing is freely given, only acquired. But here’s the paradox: before we can embrace the Logic of Gift, we must first make a choice. And in that choice lies the real test of whether we are givers or takers.
...At dinner one night, my son couldn’t stop talking. In an attempt to teach him a lesson, I shared a simple truth: the less you talk, the smarter people think you are. Years later, I was reminded of that wisdom when a colleague was described as someone who “talks the least, yet says the most.” Humility isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about knowing when to speak and when to listen.
...In today’s culture, many shy away from truth when it contradicts personal desires. However, true freedom comes from surrendering to God’s design, particularly in the marital vocation. Research shows couples who conform to this truth—living chastely before marriage—experience greater stability and joy. The path is clear: surrender first, conform next, and the embracing of truth will follow, leading to lasting fulfillment.
