Over the past few weeks, my runs (and walks) have been accompanied by lessons from Don Miguel Ruiz’s book ‘The Four Agreements’.

Each one struck me in a different way - personally and professionally:

1. Be impeccable with your word.
   Words matter. How I speak to others - and how I speak to myself - can create connection or cause pain.
2. Don’t take anything personally.
   As a recovering people pleaser, this one landed hard. Sometimes a business decision is simply a business decision. No need to take it personally. No need to react when someone else does.
3. Don’t make assumptions.
   Clarity is kindness. Assumptions complicate. Asking questions and communicating openly keeps me out of unnecessary drama.
4. Always do your best.
   And here’s the truth: my best changes with the circumstances. My best when I’m rested isn’t the same as my best when I’m tired. The point isn’t perfection - it’s showing up.

These agreements are simple in words, not always simple in practice. But out on the road, step by step, they remind me of how I want to live and lead.

Inspired by Don Miguel Ruiz, ‘The Four Agreements’.
