In this Power Surge, Dr. Mel reminds you that leadership isn’t a race — it’s a rhythm. “Get there when you get there” isn’t about slowing down; it’s about trusting the pace of your purpose. When you lead with patience, presence, and persistence, you create lasting impact that doesn’t depend on speed.

Key Points:

  • Leadership growth isn’t linear — it’s layered and personal.
  • The urge to rush “arrival” often comes from comparison, not calling.
  • Sustainable leadership happens when you show up with consistency, not hurry.
  • Progress can’t be forced — it’s formed through faithfulness to the next right step.
  • You don’t have to have it all figured out today to lead well today.

Power Surge Takeaway:
You don’t have to rush your leadership journey. If you’re intentional and faithful with where you are, you’ll arrive exactly where you’re meant to be — right on time.
