YOU are an everyday leader … you are the boss of you!

Your choice of influence impacts those who experience and interact with you – those within your family, your community and your place of work.

Do you believe you can be effective and kind at the same time? Think of someone in your past that led you with cords of kindness…think of what that cord was made of. What were the words, the thoughts, the deeds that were braided into that cord?

At a 2010 graduation commencement, Jeff Bezos shared a statement his grandfather passed on to him, “Jeff, someday you will learn in life that it’s harder to be kind than clever.”

As you journey through life, strive to be passionate, focused, committed, resilient and compassionate. Make it a priority to use your influence to lift those around you to higher levels of life and leadership. Boldly own your impact and make it matter!

High Road Principle: You go to a higher level when you treat others better than they treat you!
