Why do you do what you do? As we opened The 2025 LeadershipLegacy Experience, Cindy and I went into significant detail covering how important it is for every leader to have a clear purpose for accepting all that comes with leading a team. But let’s be honest, very few things in life worth having come easy. Regardless of what you’re engaged in, personally or professionally, a clear purpose is absolutely critical for rising above the muck and making a positive impact for the people counting on us!

Working too much doesn’t burn you out; not getting fulfillment from the work you’re doing burns you out.

Compensation is a factor in why we choose certain career paths, but it’s not THE factor! Our son made a career change several years ago at a critical time in his life, giving up 20% from just his base pay alone. And if it were all about compensation, we wouldn’t see so many people actively engaged in non-profits or civic organizations; the cause - or the purpose - drives them

People don’t shy away from tasks because of risk or difficulty. Some of my best friends have served for decades as volunteer firefighters, risking their lives for people they don’t even know ON THEIR OWN DIME and on their own time… And let’s be honest, even the paid firefighters don’t do it for the money alone…

Here’s the reality: having a clear purpose matters in every aspect of our lives! If you can’t define yours with absolute certainty, let’s connect!

We've known Maria for a long time and have been absolutely blown away by the responsibility she carries and how she displays genuine servant leadership. In addition to running her own success business, MIM Community Solutions, she's played a critical role in founder CEL Harrisonburg-Rockingham Latino Business Council (serving as the organization's first president).

In this episode, we'll talk with Maria about how she's actively engaged in applying "The Values Advantage" and how that ties directly with CEL's Juntos Avanzamos (Together We Advance) launch event.

While Cindy didn't take on an "official" role in Dove Development & Consulting until about a year in, she's had a tremendous influence from the beginning. Wes often shares that he'd get a lot done even if it was just him, but having Cindy by his side means folks may actually like it. Her compassion coupled with a drive for excellence is key in how they live our their core values together.

In this episode, Wes will interview Cindy about how she's actively engaged in applying "The Values Advantage" with every client they serve.
