What Keeps Us From Being Leaders?
What keeps us from being Leaders is our lack of faith in ourselves. When we mute and ignore our greatest passions, we lose touch with that which is imbued with the greatest meaning to us.

"Never underestimate what one person can do to effect change. Indeed, it is the only thing Continue Reading

What is leadership? Who are our leaders? Where are they? These are three of the most important questions we can ask ourselves today. I was a young child when I first realized that our leaders may not be who and where we assume them to be. I was watching a televised program of the Canadian House of Commons.
