Episode 220 is an 'On My Mind' episode about leadership. Not the conventional meaning of leadership. In this episode I unpack how leadership isn’t about a position or a title—it’s about influence. It’s about how you show up, how you inspire others, and how you take responsibility for making a difference.
You can lead anywhere—at work, in your family, or in your community.
💡Leading At work – You don’t need to be a manager to be a leader. When you take initiative, support others, and bring a positive attitude, you’re leading.
💡 Leading At home – Families need leadership too. Whether you’re a parent, a sibling, or a relative, or a dear friend of a family, you can lead through encouragement, connection, and accountability.
💡 Leading In your community – Leadership isn’t about prestige; it’s about service. Volunteering, mentoring, or simply bringing people together—these are all acts of leadership.
As we move through the decades, our values evolve, and our self-awareness deepens. Life prepares us to lead in ways we couldn’t before. With experience and wisdom, we’re in a unique position to lead with authenticity and purpose.
My challenge to you: Where can you lead today? What opportunities to lead are right in front of you? Leadership isn’t about a title—it’s about stepping up, right where you are.
