Day 25 of 32 Day Sabbatical

While we are having a wonderful time in Italy, it has not been very relaxing (with three young kids, I knew this would be the case!).

It took me two weeks to fully relax. I checked email for the first few days, and after day…https://t.co/LwKupvzdSC

Being an exceptional leader requires effort. This might include reading books, following experts, attending conferences, and gaining wisdom through life experience. And some of the most effective and impactful leadership development occurs through mentors…https://t.co/7ZzTNReupo

I've always found it interesting that almost every job except leadership requires basic or extensive training to qualify for the job. Whether it's a pilot, chef, teacher, doctor, or a coffee barista. Early in my career, I worked as…https://t.co/eiCRm5wqOA https://t.co/lX2xsoylUX

It really is shocking to think of all the companies that have failed because they weren't agile or adaptable to the ever-changing world. Marina Alex (https://t.co/PhRI1Chwcg) shares why each of these top 10 "Giant" companies fell a…https://t.co/YNzy8hDxKI https://t.co/STaeO0JamJ

I've had some personal challenges lately, and this quote reminded me to focus on the good (even if it's something small) and more good will come. A few things I'm focusing on:

My 8 year-old daughter, Clara, and I have been reading this book, Little Dreamers, for Women's History month. I had no idea that the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, right here in D.C., was designed by Maya Lin when she was 21 years old and an undergraduate stu…https://t.co/BIUcWotyIE

I like in this article that Deborah Riegel https://t.co/dGtVUkh6cj discusses how to help employees and how to avoid micromanaging OR underleading.

I asked Chat GPT to create a limerick about leadership and St. Patrick's Day. Not bad! 😯

There once was a leader so grand,
Whose vision for his land was so planned,
On St. Patrick's Day,
He led the parade,
And all followed his shamrock in hand.

Happy…https://t.co/9hNK9b6blM

Not everyone is meant to be a leader.

Just like not everyone is meant to be a teacher, a pilot, a customer service representative (have you experienced someone who definitely should NOT be in customer service? 🙄), an architect or a barista, not everyon…https://t.co/B7af0FdfPo

When I was first promoted to a supervisor role, I had no leadership training, and no one sat me down and explained what the expectations were in a leadership role. One day, my company hired an employee to help me, and I became a leader. It's unfortunate t…https://t.co/m7gXRcQulp
