Leadership is not easy. It is not for people who don’t know what they want for themselves.

Leadership is not for those who don’t believe that they have what it takes to make a difference in the world.

Leadership is for people who are not afraid to do what other people don’t want to do.

If you are comfortable with yourself, leadership is for you.

‘If you lead from your best self, you feel exellence and even elation within you.’

‘If you are not able to enact courage to have a conversation or take action, the effects are significant.’

‘If you practice self-awareness, you can more easily notice fear, pause for reflective sense-making, and act.’

‘Acknowledging when you don’t know something sets up conditions for receiving support.’

‘Inspiring vision requires you to be a continuous student, learning from various outlets.’

‘Remember that every individual retains areas where they are not strong.’

‘Being an inclusive leader means you don’t have to be the superhero. You don’t have to know everything and do everything.’

‘Conrageous conversation mean being fearless in having direct conversations but in a thoughtful and gracious manner.’

‘As an authentic leader, if you make a mistake, own it, and try to make things better.’

‘The willingness to share of yourself in contextually appropriate and honest ways is important for buidling followership and building the next generation of leaders.’
