Hi,
I
notice that women have a tendency to see a change that needs to happen and
because of that they step into a leadership role to make it happen. They are
reluctant leaders or changemakers, but leaders all the same.
With
all that is happening now — many believe our society is at a crucial turning
point — I believe it’s time to really look at change and how we can participate
in the process. Here are some things to consider (and for more details, read
this):
Change
is inevitable; the world is changing faster than we even realized a few
months ago. Which direction will it take?
Expect
and manage change, rather than dreading and becoming a victim of it. If you
don’t step into leadership to take on changing something about which you are
passionate, you then become equivalent to the person who complains but sits back
and does nothing.
Take
back your personal power. Put a stake in the ground for your personal
movement, the passion you have, the thing you want to change. Support it,
nourish it, lead it, and allow the world to change for the better. Join others
who are working on the same thing or an adjunct cause. There is strength in
numbers.
Take
a stand and speak out with the power of your convictions. Look at the recent
movements and protests, and see the power of their conviction and the change
they’ve been able to influence as a result.
As
Margaret Mead so eloquently said, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful,
committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever
has.” How exciting it is that you and I can take our rightful leadership roles
to change the world!
Be
courageous - Dare 2
Lead!
