People will see you as a thought leader when you see yourself as a thought leader.

Last week I left my corporate job for a career as a speaker / coach

Last night I had a nightmare that I didn’t leave yet

In my dream
- I couldn’t access slides in a brief
- I was late for work
- I almost crashed my car rushing

I woke up to the reality that I’m free. 🙏

We need to move from management to leadership

Management I’ve come to define as the manipulation of others for your success

Leadership is the stewardship of people you have the privilege of leading

We have to move from a “me centric” society to a “we” centric

Pressure reveals readiness.

If you feel, you’re being tested, it’s an indicator that it’s time to level up, will you pass the test? If not, you will be given more time to train but if you prevail, you will be propelled
