While learning golf recently, I discovered something that completely shifted my thinking: the target and the destination are not the same thing.
The hole may be the destination, but the target is often somewhere else entirely — the place you aim so the ball eventually ends up where you want it to go.
That insight made me reflect on leadership, life, and especially money. Many of us fixate on the destination — the outcome we want — while overlooking the strategic targets that actually move us forward.
Sometimes the real transformation isn’t arriving somewhere new.
It’s developing a new way of seeing the path in front of us.
Years ago, after finishing my Peace Corps service, I wrote something in a card to friends and family that I rediscovered this week: one’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things. That idea feels just as true today.
This realization is also what inspired the Women’s Financial Strategy Clinic I’m hosting on May 4th at Highland Creek Golf Club in partnership with the James Black Foundation.
Together we’ll explore how to rethink our relationship with money, deepen our financial literacy, and challenge the assumptions that shape how we make financial decisions.
Because the goal isn’t just financial outcomes.
It’s gaining clarity about how we move toward them.
