LEADERSHIP LESSONS

I was afraid to be great–to be too big. But now, I see that it was my ego that was trying to keep me small, out of fear. I am here to honor all that I am.

This course taught me that others believe in me. They look to me for guidance, support, ideas, vision, inspiration. It is in my nature to do the work. It feeds my soul to move the field forward. Initially, I felt like I was standing in a room with 10 doors and didn’t know which one to choose. I could do many things in the field, but I was convinced I couldn’t do it all. Now I have a new vision. I prop open one door of the 10-doored room and place a welcome mat at the threshold. I do the same at the next and the next until all doors are open. I don’t have to choose any one of them. I get to stay exactly where (who) I am and others come to me as needed. The world and its possibilities were always right there. By staying put in the hub of my world, I am able to connect these disparate world and anchor them with my grand vision.
