Singapore, 28 May 2025 — How does a leadership vow help you in your daily hero journey? 

Story 

It happened this week. In our Grow3Leaders community of practice, we started creating leadership vows that keep us motivated and focused every day to serve others and support ourselves. 

A vow is a promise and statement of our deliberate intentionality. We all know about the vows spoken out loud by couples as part of their wedding ceremony, or when they decide to renew their vows. 

People who choose a life of service and purpose will also express their vows. For leaders, a vow will help them stay motivated and on track to deliver what they have promised to do. 

Challenge 

There are many ways to create your leadership vow. Some feel inspired by the vows from their respective wisdom traditions. Others by a humanistic or activist cause, like climate action or environmental conservation. Our members found that ChatGPT can help them review options and create their own leadership vow. 

Typically, a vow will make three points. That’s helpful because we humans find it difficult to remember more than three things. Keeping it simple will help us to remember our vow with ease and to it into action every day.

So far, we have seen vows about radiating light and energy that connects, acting with courage in pursuit of what is right, cultivating peace in relationships and in the communities we serve, balancing productivity with challenges, empowering others to step up and learn, meeting confusion with clarity, and embodying compassion with presence. More to come. 

Question

Creating and using a leadership vow, and building it into your daily routine for starting the day, invites you to “live each day as a new adventure,” one of our members shared. We agree. 

My question for you this week is: How does a leadership vow help you in your daily hero journey? Please let us know your vow to serve others and support yourself through the challenges.

To practice this, you’re welcome to join our Grow3Leaders community to learn out loud with other leaders as you create your very own leadership vow, say it out loud every morning, and then lead your daily hero journey to serve others. 

P.S. You can explore our leadership programs and schedule a complimentary strategy call to get started.
