Each year, I pause to look back—not out of habit, but because it reminds me what’s possible when we stay focused on shaping leaders. And as you’ll see in the visuals below (thank you for reading through this), 2025 was a breakthrough year. Young leaders found their footing, teams grew stronger, and the Lead Today Community made a measurable difference in places that matter.

Now we turn toward 2026 with energy, purpose, and high expectations. And I want to ask you directly: will you make a special year-end gift to strengthen this work? Your generosity fuels everything—developing next-generation leaders, expanding our reach, and building tools that genuinely change lives. If you believe leadership matters, this is the moment to lean in with us.
