We are all Leaders, each and every one of us. Many of us simply believe that we are not. With every choice we make and action we take, we create a ripple effect for all other life to sense and see. It is as if we 'swing the vote' with every breath we take, every thought we think, every feeling we feel, every motion we make. As we begin to realize how inter-connected we all are, we begin to recognize that there is no such thing as an Continue Reading

Without using these ‘tools’ as just that – communication devices that can deliver enriching, Continue Reading
Leaders and Followers – Part 1
It was as I was flying home from the UN Earth Summit – twenty-eight hours in flight – that I received this, amongst many, insights: Most people are followers; few are leaders.
