Transformation Tip:
"The Answer to How Is Yes" — Peter Block

Sometimes the biggest obstacle to growth isn't a lack of knowledge—it's waiting until we have every answer. Progress begins when we choose to move forward before the entire path is clear.

In this episode of Transform Your Life, Steve Chua welcomes Dr. Lynn Priddy, President of Claremont Lincoln University, for a conversation about leadership, change, and the courage to act in uncertain times.

Dr. Priddy shares the leadership philosophy that has guided her career: balancing bold vision with deep compassion for others. Together, Steve and Lynn explore what it takes to lead meaningful change, navigate failure with humility, and develop future leaders who can carry the mission forward.

  • Lessons learned from failure and self-awareness
  • Why leaders need people who challenge them
