The one thing GREAT leaders don't forget!
In his Boundaries for Leaders book, Dr. Henry Cloud makes this statement, “As a leadership coach, one of the questions I always ask myself is, 'Does this leader lead in a way that is compatible with humans?'”
Every time I read this question, I laugh at how simple, yet profound it is.
In the whirlwind leadership, it’s easy for leaders to forget that they are leading fellow people -- human beings with hopes and dreams, griefs and struggles.

The world sure has changed in the past two years -- and through it all, you've undoubtedly learned a lot about yourself.
You've probably also learned a lot about the people that you've worked alongside of as well! Maybe those are even the people who live inside of your house??

You are not alone -- especially if you are trying to work hard, juggle your career and home life, invest in your personal growth, serve those around you, and live a life that makes a positive impact within your sphere of influence.
Doing the right thing (and making positive change) is hard work. And hard work is just that -- it's HARD.
What happens when life gets hard?
Are anxiety and fear holding you back?
Are anxiety and fear holding you back from reaching your true potential? They may be — more than you think!
Fear is something I've struggled with my whole life. It has robbed me of much joy and many opportunities. But fear doesn't have to get the last word -- even if it's in our wiring.
