Feeling bogged down by deadlines? Recharge and reignite your leadership spirit with these inspiring micro poems that explore themes of finding escape, work-life balance, and leading with purpose.
Find Your Escape
Surviving 24/7 work and life
Keystrokes getting louder
Bouts of stress
Deadlines stretched
Let that next call ring a bit longer
As you take some time off to ponder
Life is what we make
Go, find your escape

What’s Your Pursuit
The daily hustle of the city
The honking, the screaming
Daily race
Fingers pointed at you
Arguments in your face
Where does this take you
What’s your pursuit
Are you the ringmaster
Or a puppet dressed in a suit

Micro Poems – Leadership
Leadership is Character
Not a title, not a role
Leadership is character
Roll up your sleeves
Help them reboot
Get your hands dirty
Be a man, not a suit

Lead with Empathy
My continued silence
Is not indifference
To hide my pain
My smile is forced, a facade
Let’s just get on with this
I can see through the pretense, the charade
