What if sustainable leadership begins not with strategy but with fullness?
In this episode, Gem Fadling reflects on Bernard of Clairvaux’s image of the reservoir and contrasts it with the canal model of leadership. Looking at the example of Jesus, who often withdrew to pray despite growing demands, this conversation invites leaders to rediscover depth, overflow, and spiritual sustainability.
If you desire influence without burnout, this episode offers both inspiration and practical next steps.
