Northbound Ascent - The Purpose Driven Climb

Episode notes

Northbound Community Northbound Ascent - The Purpose Driven Climb In this episode, Chris unpacks why this popular workplace phrase quietly trains burnout, replaces health with coping, and encourages people to escape their work instead of sustaining it. Using the Northbound framework of ascent, summit, and descent, he explains why healthy leadership isn't about pushing harder or rewarding exhaustion, but about designing rhythms people can actually endure. Because leadership is a long climb—and the goal isn't surviving the week, it's staying strong for the journey ahead.
