PODCAST   BOOKS   TRAINING SUBSCRIBE PODCAST BOOKS TRAINING SUBSCRIBE DIVINE INSPIRATION Hey all,   Mark here. Here's what we have in store for this week... WHAT I'M WRITING ABOUT My focus this week has been on...   Clarity and Discipline: Mastering Focus for Leadership   'Front-sight focus' means zeroing in on what truly matters amidst chaos and distraction, which requires clarity and discipline. Developing this skill enhances your ability as a leader to stop, look, and listen to yourself, others, and your environment. Getting clear is a daily practice that takes discipline and willingness.    Training your focus as a leader is not just a skill—it's a transformative and essential journey. It's more than just about personal productivity; it's about learning to align your actions with your values, goals, and the impact you want to make. This alignment gives us all a sense of purpose and propels us to make a difference in times of adversity. For me, it's one of the things that keeps me inspired and motivated.   Over the years, my experience coaching top executives and Olympic-level athletes has taught me that achieving peak performance is a continuous process of asking the right questions and making necessary adjustments. So, this week, ask yourself: Are you fully aware of your top quality as a leader? And are you open to examining what isn't working and making the necessary changes?    "The world is big, and I want to have a good look at it before it gets dark." -John Muir   NEW EPISODE - THE MARK DIVINE SHOW Episode # 472 Whole Foods Co-Founder on Conscious Capitalism & Sustainability with John Mackey   John Mackey is a notable American entrepreneur and the co-founder of Whole Foods Market.
