The Human Element: “Comments from Leaders on Life’s Biggest Investment”

We’ve talked a lot about strategy, but today I want to share conversations I’ve had with several leaders—insights that reflect the essence of life’s greatest investment: building a family.

  • 1️. A KPI That Changes Your Life
    Many leaders who once measured success by quarterly reports told me… the day their child called their name for the first time, or rode a bike independently—those were the real KPIs, in their life, far more meaningful than any other number they’d chased in their careers. Success now had a deeper, more profound dimension.
  • The Best Decisions Often Happen Outside the Boardroom
    Many say, “I wish I had started planning sooner.”, and those who did act early shared that doing a preconception health check, or Egg Freezing, in advance was the best personal strategic decision they ever made. It buys time and reduces risk from the uncertainties of the future.
  • 3️. A Journey That Makes Us More Complete Leaders
    In conversations with friends who have used Assisted Reproductive Technology, it often comes up that the journey is challenging but life-changing. It teaches us to understand our own vulnerabilities, let go of what we cannot control, and develop greater empathy for our teams and those around us.

💬 These conversations highlight one clear truth:
Building a family is the most intense life and leadership lesson—and it delivers the most rewarding returns.
