## Resource

After 12 years as CEO, Ewan Aitken is stepping down—not retiring, but slowing down to pursue personal passions. With over 30 years in leadership, Aitken champions empowering others over controlling them, believing true success comes from trusting capable people with the resources and belief they need. He’s seen profound transformations at Cyrenians, where rediscovering love and connection is as vital as meeting material needs. His leadership philosophy centers on delegation, not domination—because hoarding power stifles growth. Guided by core values of compassion, respect, integrity, and innovation, Cyrenians supports even those who’ve made tough choices, never giving up on anyone while holding them accountable. Aitken leaves behind a legacy of empowerment, having learned as much from the people he served as he did from his team. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
