Francis Kong: Inspiring Excellence

Resolutions are easy. Audits are honest. In this episode, I walk through six powerful questions to help you reflect on your year—your mindset shifts, energy sources, drains, anchors, wins, misses, and lessons. Because a fresh start isn’t a date. It’s clarity.

As we start the new year, let’s trade motivational clichés for real guidance that works under pressure.

We’ve been told to “be yourself” for years — but what if that advice is quietly hurting us at work? Let’s talk about responsible authenticity and strategic self-awareness.

Not every workplace is perfect—but effective leadership can make all the difference. In this episode, we uncover what real leaders do: set clarity, create realistic expectations, and lead with genuine empathy. No buzzwords, no illusions—just the truth about building a healthy culture.
