4Why Dominate?
As we approach EPR Global’s Emergence Conference this November, themed “Dominate – Designing a Life of Significance,” it’s essential to reflect on why we are called to dominate. In a world overflowing with knowledge and inspiration, true dominance is not just about understanding—it’s about taking decisive action that leads to tangible, lasting results.
The original Hebrew word often translated as “dominate” means “to rule or have dominion over.” This divine instruction is not a license for exploitation but a mandate for responsible stewardship. It is thus reflected as:
To dominate in the marketplace is to rise to the top with integrity. It’s not just about following trends but setting them. It’s about becoming a powerful and influential leader, regardless of your formal role, pushing beyond comfort zones, turning ideas into reality, and sustaining the momentum needed for lasting impact.
