Whenever change happens, our first instinct is often to resist it. It’s human nature as we crave certainty, familiarity, and control. In reality progress rarely comes from comfort and change rarely starts from the centre. True transformation begins at the edges, where people are willing to see things differently, to challenge convention, and to lead with intention. The edges are often uncomfortable places, and I think it is also here where creativity, courage, and new possibilities live.

Those who operate at the edges are usually the ones who ask the difficult questions, who see what others overlook, and who imagine what could be instead of settling for what is. Over time, their ideas and actions ripple inward, reshaping the centre itself. Real leadership is about creating space for that kind of change, encouraging others to explore the edges, experiment, and grow, even when it feels uncertain. This is because lasting transformation doesn’t happen to people; it happens through them.
