2026 Doesn't Start with a Plan—It Starts with Paying Attention
What if the best way to prepare for 2026 isn't planning—but paying attention?
In this episode, Brek Cockrell shares a transformative leadership lesson he learned back in 2008 at conference that has shaped how he approaches new seasons, new roles, and new years. Drawing from wisdom taught by Pastor Wayne Gordon and Dr. John Perkins, Brek introduces a simple but profound rhythm: listen, reflect, respond.
Most leaders end the year exhausted, already planning for what's next without taking time to listen to their own lives, teams, or the patterns that have shaped their year. But what if we entered 2026 differently? Not with hustle or hype, but with awareness, curiosity, and intention?
Brek unpacks why it's not our intention that leads us to our preferred destination—it's our attention. He asks powerful questions: What are you worried about? What are you avoiding? What's driving your decisions? What patterns are showing up in your leadership?
He also introduces his 21-day leadership accelerator, "26 Is Coming Quick"—a live, community-based experience designed to help leaders listen first, reflect second, and respond with clarity and confidence as they enter the new year.

- The leadership lesson Brek learned in 2008 that changed everything
