Ever feel like you want to just bail, to leave everything behind and go elsewhere?
I sure do. I dream of going to Africa, where I’ve cried seeing elephant families roam and worked with warm, committed people to help their communities rise. I dream of going to Canada, to visit dear friends, to deeply hug them. I dream of going to the beach, to walk along the ephemeral waterline and relax into the ocean’s rhythmic roar.
Except there is no elsewhere. Everywhere is affected by the profound personal and societal change we are living right now.
What I’ve come to realize is that there is no elsewhere as a leader either. You are a leader now, in this situation, in this time.
So how do you deal with that, with all this change?
Ground yourself in place. Grow in your confidence. Focus on your impact.
You are made for these times.
You are here, now.
You’ve had to deal with the unknown. Many times.
You've been focused on impact.
You are willing to change and grow as a leader of that impact.
If you haven't done that work yet, or not as fully as you would like to, it's ok - you still can. Where you are right now is the place to start.
You are made for these times.
