Out of Context: Everyone is a Leader • "Leadership is how you interact with everyone, including yourself. Leaders are quite visible within large and small business. We tend to think of them as business owners, CEO, and managers at all levels. Traditionally, leadership also extends into politics and other global affairs. However, parents, therapists and health care providers, solopreneurs, sport coaches, consultants, mentors, partners in relationship, teachers, authors, and others who interact with people on a regular basis are all leaders. Everyone is a leader either by choice or default. "If you don’t think of yourself as a leader, then you’re limited in your thinking. Leading is the way we help move people into action, including ourselves. The question is not whether you are a leader, but how well you lead." —Bruce D. Schneider, Energy Leadership

"The question is not whether you are a leader, but how well you lead."
So few people realize that in every action they take they are influencing someone. I often like the analogy is the way you are living a message of inspiration or a warning.
Like all movies the central character is either one of these two - a villan or a hero.
We too in our daily lives are the central character. And we can be either a message or a warning.
If we can encourage people to think about how they are showing up in every interaction they have with others, and how they feel about the legacy they leave behind in that moment, then we will certainly set this world on to a far better trajectory.
Warmest wishes
Shelley
