The problem with dreaming big is… it makes people uncomfortable.

Big dreams sound bold in a keynote. They make great headlines. But in real life? They threaten the status quo. They expose our own limits. They force us to face what’s possible—and what we’ve settled for.

As leaders, we talk about vision, but the truth is… dreaming big is risky.
It means saying:
✔ We’re not there yet.
✔ What got us here won’t get us there.
✔ There’s more we’re capable of—even if we can’t fully see it yet.

And that’s hard. Because dreaming big means inviting your team into the unknown. Asking them to stretch. Risk failure. Risk success—because sometimes that’s just as scary.

But the leaders I admire most are the ones who refuse to dream small.
The ones who don’t just talk about possibility—they build it.
Brick by brick.
Day by day.
Even when it’s messy. Especially when it’s hard.

They dream big—and then they get to work bringing others with them.

Because leadership isn’t just about managing what is.
It’s about believing in what could be.
