Every leader faces moments where the path forward isn’t clear - inflection points that force us to choose between staying comfortable or stepping into something bigger.

In this episode of The Journey to CEO Success, Patrick Thean sits down with Dominic Rapini, CEO of Queralt, Inc., to unpack how great leaders recognize these pivotal moments and act decisively even when the outcome isn’t guaranteed.

Dominic shares how he’s learned to leverage mistakes as accelerators, not setbacks, and why building a culture that learns fast and never repeats errors is one of the greatest competitive advantages a leader can create.

They discuss:

• How to identify when it’s truly time to pivot, in your career or your business

• Why waiting for perfect clarity is a trap

• The mindset shift leaders must make around failure and experimentation

• How purpose and long-term mission guide better decisions under pressure

Whether you’re navigating a personal crossroads or leading your team through one, this conversation will challenge you to think differently about timing, risk, and resilience.
