Thanksgiving...Don't leave home without Him

This past Sunday, I attended a church service, in which the pastor (Pastor John) gave such a beautiful perspective of Thanksgiving, not as a day we celebrate, but a person we carry with us daily. For example, "Thanksgiving" has always been with us when we celebrate good times of joyful graduations, marriages, or hearing those words of doctors say, “The test came back negative.” or “The cancer was benign.” “Thanksgiving” always seems to show up for the birth of children or the return of a loved one coming home from war. Yes, “Thanksgiving” is always a welcomed guest at times of celebration in our lives.

But what about those times of sorrow -- at the loss of a job or the loss of a loved one? Pastor John went on to explain the powerful lesson “Thanksgiving” taught him one day.

He told of the story of a young lady whose body was ridden with Muscular Dystrophy. Although she had overcome many trials in her 29 years of life, she became so frail in her final days of life that she had to have oxygen consistently and was strapped into her wheelchair lest she fall out. Then the day came when she passed away, leaving behind a family and pastor who loved her dearly.

Pastor John went on to tell of how he quickly drove to the hospital to be with the family. As he got out of his car, he noticed that "Thanksgiving" who had rode shot-gun that day, tried to get out of the car and go with him upstairs to be with the family. In great remorse and disappointment, Pastor John turned to "Thanksgiving" and sternly said, "No, you stay here. This is no place for you. You stay in the car!"

Ever the servant, "Thanksgiving" obeyed and sat back down in the car. Pastor John proceeded up to the hospital room where the girl's body laid, surrounded by a family in tears. As he entered the room, he carried his own pain and offered his condolences. Then, in rightful order, they all prayed together. As the prayer ended, Pastor John said he felt such a sense of loss and emptiness and together, with the family they just stood there in silence, staring at the girl.

Finally, the mother spoke up and said, "You know, for 29 years, I have prayed that God would heal our daughter and asked God not to take her. But, Pastor, this week, for the first time in my life, I have felt a peace about letting her go to be with her Heavenly Father in total healing. You know our daughter, despite her illness, was an award winning artist. She finished her last painting recently and it was her most beautiful painting ever. It was a painting of a beautiful sky lined by trees bordering a dirt path. The sun was shining on the path as an eagle flew freely in the sky. Off in the distance at the end of that dirt path was a very small wheelchair....empty. The simple title of her final
painting said it all: FREEDOM AWAITS. I knew when she titled that painting, my daughter was ready to go Home."

As the mother continued, a light knock was heard at the door. Pastor John turned to see "Thanksgiving" slowly entering the room. Suddenly the atmosphere was illuminated with joy as the mother continued to say, "I can't believe I am saying it, but I am thankful this day has come. I know my daughter is whole and I know this was her dream. She is free."

Together, with "Thanksgiving" the family celebrated in awe at the graciousness of God in all things. A simple scripture in I Thessalonians 5:18 says, "In everything give thanks." Take time to let your heart be grateful for the good, the bad, and even the challenging opportunities in life. Invite "Thanksgiving" to your house this Thanksgiving Day and everyday of your life. You will surely find out that every circumstance you face is a part of the plan that God has for your life. Your best is yet to come, so "Give Thanks."

Beyond The Vote

By Staci Wallace

The people have spoken and the votes have been tallied. Last night at 10:00 pm our nation stepped into a moment in history where new dreams were birthed for so many in our nation. What once seemed impossible for an African-American to be the ruler of this great nation, is now an achievement that will forever be "do-able". No longer will it be heralded as "remarkable" for an African American to do anything in this country as we have watched the highest office in this land be secured by President Elect Barak Obama.

Even as I type this, his name comes up as a spell check error signifying that the world, only a few short months ago, had no idea who this man was or how he would change the world. But today, whether he won your vote or not, his victory stands as a symbol of hope for every dream you have in your heart, stating that "anything is possible when you believe".

When Roger Bannister smashed the four minute mile, it was a feat that many declared was "impossible" for man to do. But with the desire to continue his education, Roger used his innate ability in track to seek additional scholarship money to put himself through school. He ran with the hopes of becoming a doctor. What started as a self-directed vision became a catalyst of historical change, proving that "anything is possible when you believe." Once he proved the possibility of his accomplishment of breaking that record, hundreds and eventually thousands of athletes went on to do the same.

What I witnessed last night was far beyond politics or the victory of one candidate over another. What I saw was another "four minute mile" being broken in our nation that tells exclaims to dreamers everywhere that “ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE”!!!!

To every African American or anyone with a dream who has ever wondered if opportunities would emerge to give way to their greatness in this country, the proof is in the moment. Yes, anything is possible. Yes, you can, dream the impossible dream. Yes, you can achieve great things others deemed out of reach. Yes, you can break barriers of limitations set by others. Yes, you can change your world.

I encourage each of my EMwomen sisters to dig deep on this one. As somewhat of a "momma" over this community, I have enjoyed seeing the valiant debates and support of your candidates in this election. I have silently watched as so many of you, normally "shy and quiet spectators" move to the front of the crowd to let your voices be heard. Did I always agree with your passions? No. Did I still embrace your zeal and willingness to stand up for your convictions? Absolutely! I know that courage is the beginning of change. When you have courage enough to stand up for what you believe in, you have the power to make a difference.

Whether that courage sets a woman free from abuse or enables creativity and boldness to own your own business, courage begins when you are so passionate about something that it pulls you out of the woodwork and into the spotlight of conviction.

So now what? What happens beyond the vote? Here is what has kept me from sleeping tonight and what I pray will burn as a new passion in your heart. Whether your candidate won or not, I beseech you to take this to heart.

No matter what your Party affiliation may be or how you voted, now it’s time to move beyond the election into a place of action. Your greatest freedom is not the freedom to mark a ballot, but knowing you live in a country that gives you the freedom to become a catalyst of change for the values and principles you
hold most dear.

For example: If you don't like the way government is being run.....run for office! If you are tired of old education models dictating your child's future.....join the PTA or school board and help influence change. If you are pro-life (and many of you have been clearly so)....take your passion beyond the vote and get involved in a local organization that supports your vision for life, make a donation, volunteer for an organization in your community. The point is.... get involved. Don't just wait for things to happen -- get out and use your life, your money, your voice to initiate change and make things happen!

If there is one thing I am passionate about, it is helping individuals see beyond their current reality into a life of what "could be, should be and must be!" This is the greatest country on earth and our leadership now will thrive, not on the standing of who is in the White House, but the millions of Americans who take this opportunity to get involved in their community, their country and their future.

Barak Obama has broken a barrier and written new text for our history books. What is the record that you will break in your lifetime that will prove to your children and their children that anything is possible? If you will possess the passion, determination, commitment, tenacity, work ethic, and “Never give up” attitude, President-Elect Obama possessed, your dreams can become a reality. Dreams come, not to those who hope for things to happen, but they come to those who dedicate their lives to making things happen.

Will you join me in making EMwomen a community of passionate catalysts of change for the future? Will you stand up and let your voice be heard by getting involved in your community, state and schools? Will you agree to pray for our President no matter what your political preference? Will you be a woman who uses her life to change her world?

If you say yes and are willing to help me in this effort by becoming a woman with passion taking action, email me at staci@emwomen.com. I want to know who the real movers and shakers of this community are going to be! For doing so, I want to send you a free download to my latest song, "Stand Up". I pray it will motivate you to do something remarkable with your life.

Remember: Your life is like a fingerprint that will leave an imprint on this nation. The question is: What kind of an imprint will it leave?

Believing the best for you today!

What Is Your Obstacle?

Have you ever had a dream, idea, or challenge that seemed impossible? Have you ever hoped you could break through limitations to see those dreams become a reality?

Erik Weihenmayer is a unique leader that has not only broken those limitations, but has made a career out of overcoming insurmountable odds. On May 25, 2001, Erik Weihenmayer climbed the summit of the world's highest peak - Mount Everest. And on September 5, 2002, when he stood on top of Mt. Kosciusko in Australia, Weihenmayer completed his 7-year quest to climb The Seven Summits - the highest mountains on each of the seven continents

In September, 2003, Erik joined 320 stellar athletes from 17 countries to compete in the Primal Quest, the richest and toughest multi-sport adventure race in the world: 457 miles through the Sierra Nevada's, nine days, sixty thousand feet of elevation gain, and no time-outs. Averaging only two hours of sleep a night, Erik and his team surged past the finish line on Lake Tahoe, becoming one of the 42 teams to cross the finish line out of the 80 teams that began.

What makes Erik's accomplishments incredible is not only that he is living his passion to climb the hardest and highest peaks in the world, but he has done so despite being completely blind. As the only blind man in history to reach the summit of Mt. Everest, his passion and tenacity have set a new standard for the potential of mankind to overcome what others consider impossible obstacles. He has shattered the ceiling of limitations for blind people and has lived as a catalyst of hope for the human spirit.

Today, as you set out to conquer your world, look for the opportunity to overcome the odds, face the winds, climb the mountains, and summit the heights of excellence. To some, adversity causes them to break. To leaders like Eric, adversity causes them to break records. Today is a great day to set new records in your life, work, and family.

Thriving In The Midst of Fear and Uncertainty

Today, as our nation faces some of its most trying times, many individuals have found themselves questioning the future. From the multi-trillion dollar loss in retirement funding to the massive number of foreclosures the financial woes of Wall Street have echoed in our ears Perhaps you have been one of the many who have said, "What am I going to do? What if I lose my savings? What if we don't have enough retirement money? What if it all gets worse?"

Thriving In The Midst of Fear and Uncertainty

As I hear these questions in the hearts of so many leaders in our country, I can see the evidence of FEAR creeping in to steal the power of what makes this country so great.

America is the greatest country to live in and offers the greatest amount of freedom, opportunity, and potential. Yet, like a thief sneaking in a back door, fear seems to have made residence in the hearts of so many individuals in this time financial uncertainty in our nation. Despite the chaos at Wall Street, this country is still a place of amazing opportunity. For those who panic, they will be on the losing end of this season of transition for our country. For those who look into the muck and mire and see opportunity, they will be able to find the diamonds in the rough.

For example: While some folks are complaining that this is a "terrible time to sell a home", others are seizing the moment by saying, "this is a GREAT time to buy!" Every challenge comes with GREAT opportunity. So how do you weather this recent financial storm and make sure that you don't get caught on the short end of the stick? How do you position yourself to partake of this land of opportunity like so many other entrepreneurs will this season?

KEY #1: UP YOUR PERSPECTIVE

Look For The Good In Everything. Two young twin boys were being examined by researchers as a result of their very distinctive personalities. One boy was an eternal optimist, always happy and full of cheer. The other boy was an unfortunate pessimist, who couldn't seem to find a moment's peace or happiness despite his fortunate surroundings.

Researchers placed the pessimistic boy in a room full of every toy a boy his age could hope for. Meanwhile, they placed the optimistic boy in a room full of horse manure. After a short five minutes, the pessimistic boy began to cry with great emotional outbursts. Researchers opened the door and said, "Son, what is the matter? You have every toy in here a boy could want."

The pessimist replied, "There's so many toys, I don't know which to play with." In the other room they heard squealing and laughter, they peered in the room of horse manure to see the boy jumping up and down in the manure, throwing it in the air and laughing with glee. They quickly opened the door and said, "Boy, what on earth are you so happy about?"

The boy replied with great excitement, "With all of this manure, there's gotta be a pony in her somewhere!!!!"

This is a great story to show us the power of perspective. How do you view the "manure" around you? If you grumble in pessimism, you WILL miss the opportunities. Instead, look for the good in every day. Keep your eyes and your heart open to new opportunities.

KEY #2: ELIMINATE F.E.A.R.

What is fear? It is False Expectations Appearing Real in our lives. It is presuming the worst, expecting grave misfortune. Fear is an anticipation that something bad is going to happen. Worry is the partner of fear. It is the manifested bloom that emerges when fear takes root in our lives. As worry grows, anxiety, stress and a host of other symptoms bloom and radically change our perspective, our health, and our ability to think clearly.

Even when the reality of the world around you is in "crisis mode", don't let fear rule your heart. A scripture I hold dear in times of struggle is one in which God stated, "Fear not, for I am with you. Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, I will help you, and I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." (Isaiah 41)

Basically put, God knows of your current situation and He also knows how to rescue you. Trust him in the details. Don't try to figure everything out in your head. Do not worry. Don't let stress come in and plague your heart. Did you know that heart disease is the number one killer of women in America? Did you know that STRESS is a major precursor to that disease?

By eliminating fear, you will not only see more clearly, operate more efficiently, be more open to creativity, and have a better outlook, but you will also be adding years to your life and peace to your soul.

KEY #3: GIVE THANKS

Another practice my husband and I make in times of decision is to stop in our tracks, and put on an attitude of gratitude. It is always amazing to me that no matter what the negative emotion may be that tries to steal our joy, when we allow gratitude to fill our hearts, the pain of the moment fades away.

It may be as simple as saying, "Thank you God for my children. Thank you for my home. Thank you that I have a bed to sleep in tonight. Thank you for shoes on my feet. Thank you that I have a job. Thank you that I have my health. Thank you that I can comb my own hair. Thank you that I can freely go to the bathroom by myself....."

Each and every one of us has something to be grateful for today. Even if your world seems to be falling apart, there is still much to appreciate. Stop right now. Close your eyes. Instead of focusing on the chaos and turmoil around you, allow your mind to list at least 10 things you have to be thankful for right now.

As you utilize these three keys, send us your results and let your life become a catalyst of encouragement, hope, and change for someone else!

Believing the best for you,

Winning At Work and Life!

The challenge of work-life balance is without question one of the greatest challenges facing women today. After 14 years of working with thousands of women, I am continually amazed at how difficult the task of life balance continues to remain for so many.

Here are 3 simple disciplines every woman can adhere to in becoming more balanced and better adjusted to this new generation of women dominating the work-place.

Discipline 1: Just say "No"! - The ability to say no to the "urgent" items that come up daily will give you freedom to say "yes" to the the things that matter most in life.

Discipline 2: Know When To Say "Yes"! - Reserve your valuable "yeses" for the core values of life. By making your "yeses" line up with your core values, you will be living life on your terms, verses the terms of everyone else.

Discipline 3: Never let "Good" become robber of "Best". Never let good become a replacement for what we know to be the best for our lives and the lives of those around us.

These three disciplines may seem like an over-simplification to a major issue, however, the amazing truth is that our current day-to-day decisions determine our net result. So many women blame their spouses, jobs, relatives, and even finances for a life out of balance, lacking peace and often joy.

As I travel, I continue to see more and more women stepping up to lead great companies and yet they are doing so at the sacrifice of their families, marriages and even inner peace. As work-life challenges continue to mount, too many women keep sweeping their personal issues under the rug, thinking they will somehow disappear.

Lisa, a corporate executive for a multi-million dollar company, said, "I just don't know how to fix my life. I have climbed the corporate ladder and reached my dream of being number one at what I do. However, I have lost my family in the process. My kids have grown up under someone else's care. I have missed so much of their lives it hurts inside. My husband and I live in the same home and yet are emotionally oceans apart. My spiritual life is basically non-existent other than a yoga class now and then. Basically, I have power at work and yet I feel powerless in life and I don't know how to regain control again."

Lisa's story is familiar. Unfortunately, Lisa's final statement is probably what got her in the situation in the first place. Lisa is a control freak and finds her personal significance in feeling important, in control, and in charge. By giving her undivided attention to work, she was able to fill an inner need for recognition and affirmation, however she sacrificed leadership and influence at home. Once the price was high enough, due to the loss of her family, Lisa finally realized that things had to change.

Let's look at 3 Key Disciplines To Winning At Work And Life!

Discipline 1: Just Say "No"!
So many times, we let our lives swing out of control by adding too much to our plate that doesn't even rank in our list of top priorities. If that is you, your life may look more like a shot gun firing in all directions. To become rifle focussed, means that you have mastered the art of elimination. By constantly accepting to do items that pop up as "urgent" often means you are giving up the things in life that rank as most "important".

Often, at work, we are inundated with seemingly "urgent" to do items that steal our ability to remain balanced, focussed and on track for a peace-filled life. By constantly saying "yes" to the urgent, we are often saying "no" to our greatest joys in life. Urgent meetings, urgent budgets, urgent opportunities are just a few of the "urgent" monsters that creep in to kill, steal and destroy your family, your peace, and your joy.

A simple test to give each item that pops up to steal your focus is this:

Ask yourself:

• Is this more important that what I currently had scheduled?
  
• Will this bring me closer or further from a life of peace, joy and happiness?
  
• Will the world or my company fall apart if I say "No"?
  

And even if you can positively answer those questions, ask yourself, "At the end of the day will I feel good about this decision as it ranks in priority of my family and core values?"

Discipline 2: Know When To Say, "Yes"!
If you have completed your "Good To Great" Goals course, then you should have already listed out your core values. By making your "yeses" line up with your core values, you will be living life on your terms, verses the terms of everyone else. Core values are the things in life you consider non-negotiables. These may include your faith, your marriage, your health, your family, your relationship. As you allow your core values to become a filter for all of your choices, you will see that much of what you do is negotiable, removable, and actually stealing time from the things that matter most. Give your "yes" power by learning to say "no" more often.

Discipline 3: Never let good become robber of what is best.
In his book, Good To Great, Jim Collins first sentence reads, "Good is the enemy of best". Often in life, we settle for mediocrity, status quo, and even "normal" by allowing our time to be allotted to things that fall outside of our core values. But to be a Great leader, we must never let good become a replacement for what we know to be the best for our lives and the lives of those around us.

Recently, I shared this principle with my children during our Good To Great devotions we do each morning. I explained how the Good To Great concept even applies to cleaning their room. I asked them both to clean their room. In five minutes they came down saying they were done. As I went up to inspect their rooms I asked, "Is your room good? Or is it GREAT?"

After further investigation under their beds and behind their dressers, we all agreed that their rooms could use a bit more greatness. I explained that "good" means that things look in order on the surface, but with further investigation, we discover that "under the rug" lies more disorganization. GREAT, however, is when we allow things to be excellent inside and out.

What a simple truth to all of life. Look at your life today and determine if you are using your time wisely. Are you living life on your terms, giving your greatest attention to the things that matter most? Are you living a life of greatness, or have you settled for allowing "good" to become the robber of "GREAT"?

By applying these three principles to every area of life, especially our 7 Pillars Of Balanced Success (Finances, Family, Health & Fitness, Career, Emotions, Spirituality, and Community Service), we can regain the peace and fulfillment that comes when we WIN at work and LIFE!

Gone Fishing

Have you ever noticed how children mirror their parents? This was quite apparent to me when I took my kids who were 4 and 5 year-olds to go fishing at the lake. I thought it would be a precious time of bonding as Daddy was at work and they had never been fishing before.

Now understand, I am a pretty adventurous gal. I have deep sea fished, hunted wild boar, climbed mountains, am a black-belt in Karate and have been known to rough it up with the guys on the basketball court. I guess I thought I was a pretty tough cookie.

What was I thinking? Despite my love for adventure, I have zero desire to touch a fish, let alone handle worms and other forms of live bait. There I was as the "mom of the year" thinking I had it all planned out while I packed the poles, the worms, the tackle, and the sunflower seeds for spitting. What I forgot, however, is that someone would have to bait the hook, meaning touch the worms. And if, in some odd fashion, we did catch a fish, someone would have to take it off the hook.

So there we were my two little protégées and me on the side of the lake with our fishing poles and worms. I tried to be brave, really I did. I am a woman of power and authority right? I reached into the worm bucket and felt the slimy, slithery little rascals between my perfectly manicured fingers. As I pulled the worm out it I was taken back as it was about 7 inches long! Then it squirmed frantically. I threw it to the ground with a loud scream and panic on my face. Payton and Alexia just looked at me with big eyes and said, "Did it bite you, Mommy?"

Not wanting to scare them from future worm experiences I just said, "No, honey, it just jumped out of Mommy's fingers. We will find a better one."

I reached in again and pulled out another 7 inch worm. "What in the world are they feeding these suckers? Steroids or what? Why are they so big?" I thought to myself. The hook was less than an inch so it became apparently obvious that I would have to cut the worm into sections.

I looked in the tackle box but there was nothing to cut that little varmint with. Still looking at me as their hero, my two precious kids just said, "Cut it with your fingernails, Mommy!"

I mustered up great courage and squeezed the slimy worm until it broke in two and seeped slimy juice all over my hand. "Ok," I thought, the hard part is over. I put it on the hook and we cast our lines into the water. And we waited...and waited...and waited.

About 10 minutes later, I had to get creative. So I told stories about patience, faith, being fearless, never giving up, Jonah and the whale and I even think I threw in the story about Noah’s ark, just for fun. The aim was anything that passed time as we waited for a nibble.

Finally, Alexia's bobber plunged beneath the surface. She screamed. I screamed. It was like a cut from the movie, ET. I told her to reel it in slowly. As the fish surfaced, I was thrilled to see she had caught a four inch little perch.

"I can handle this," I thought, as I gathered my courage to remove the hook from its mouth. Payton and Alexia were so proud of that fish. Little did they know what mental anguish their "I can do anything" mother was going through, thinking about touching the fish with her hands.
Looking at me with eyes wide open, they said, "Mommy, take it off the hook so we can put it back with its family."

I reached out for the fish to remove the hook. It seemed the closer I got to putting my finger in its mouth, the bigger it looked. Finally, with great hesitation, I grabbed the fish, stuck my finger in its lips, when all of a sudden it wiggled sending me into panic. I screamed...then the kids screamed. I dropped the pole and the fish. And the kids just took off running.

"Did it bite, Mommy, did it bite?," they yelled from about 20 feet away. "No," I said. "It must have swallowed that jumpy worm because it just jumped out of my hands."Realizing the need to provide a positive experience for my kids, I picked up the pole and said to myself, "I can do this!" I grabbed the fish, took out the hook and carefully placed it in the water.

From that moment on I prayed for no more fish until Daddy came.

Have you ever noticed how your reactions are mirrored in the life of your children? I thought about it after our fishing trip and realized that whether it is fear, panic, anger, jealousy or rage, children watch their parents to determine their own reactions to life. When I was courageous, they acted courageous. When I screamed, they screamed. And when I panicked, they panicked and even took off running.

Remember: What you do in moderation, your children will do in excess. So be careful little mouth what you say. Be careful little mind what you think. Be careful little heart what you keep. For a child is always watching thee.

Without Words

St. Francis of Assisi once said, "Preach the Gospel every day, and if necessary use words."

For the past week, I have been in the recording studio morning till late in the evening hammering out the vocals for my latest CD, due out Aug. 23, 2008. To protect my voice when I am recording, I take a "vocal leave of absence" during the days of recording. So for the past few days and for the next four more days, I am dedicated to mandatory silence.

I want to say a special "Thank You" for everyone understanding why I have not returned phone calls or been "over the top" in my vocal expressions of love this past week. When I am on vocal rest, it means no talking, no whispering, no coughing,....not a sound. For a woman, that can be torture. :(

Whenever I have to do this, however, I simply offer it up to God as a type of fast. It seems sometimes we are so busy making noise that we fail to embrace the silence. In fact, many of us have a hard time just sitting in silence. Instead, we turn on the radio, turn on the TV, call a friend, etc.

It is amazing how much you hear when you are not talking. Not only do you become more aware of the sounds around you, but you are more in tuned with the voices within you.

This week, my friends and family have had to communicate with me through actions and not words. They follow my actions, hand gestures, sign language, they look for non-verbal cues, and they watch my eyes. It is amazing how actions really do speak louder than words.

Last night on Donny Deutsch's "The Big Idea" a highly powerful body language specialist from the White House was talking about the power of our unspoken words. In fact over 93% of all communication is non-verbal. That means that people read your life by what they see far more than what they hear.

The question is: What message are you giving? Do you say one thing and live another? Do you act confident, yet give off insecurity and fear? Do you claim to be a spiritual being full of Faith in God, yet you crumble at the sight of a storm in your life?

Today, I encourage you to let your life speak volumes. Let your actions speak louder than words. Read this little story from my book, "Mission Possible" and let it speak to your life:

Rosa was the mother of eight beautiful children. Needless to say, her life was hectic. But one day seemed more challenging than usual as her youngest boy kept repeatedly stepping on her heels. Rosa said, “As I was trying to do my chores, he was in my way all day. Every time I turned around I would bump into him. So I gently suggested that he go outside and play. But he just smiled at me and said, ‘That’s OK, Mommy, I would much rather be with you.’ And he just continued to hum a little song and walk behind me. As the day wore on, my patience wore down. I finally insisted that he go outside with the other kids. When he said he didn’t want to, I asked him why. He looked at me so innocently and said, ‘Well, Mommy, in Sunday school, my teacher told me to walk in Jesus’ footsteps. But since I can’t see Jesus, I decided to walk in yours.’ “

Leadership is influence. Whether you are aware of it or not, you are greatly influencing others with you actions everyday. Is your leadership worth following?
