I love your comment about being a leader in all aspects of our lives. One thing I've noticed in the last 6 weeks or so since I've been teaching at a new school is that in the lower grades, particularly 1st, I hear the teachers talking to the kids about being leaders. I think it's really awesome to start teaching kids that young to be leaders.
Week 3: Art of Possibility
Chapter 5-8 in the book the Art of Possibility by Zander further spells out how to really open ourselves to the possibilities. I like how the 5th rule shares that a leader doen't need a podium. It reminds me that we lead in all aspects of our lives; parents, educators, siblings, neighbor, friend etc... When we are courageous enough to take the.....then we truly lead from any chair. My favorite rule is Rule number 6, "Don't take yourself so goddamn seriously." I've always taken my life with intense purpose sometimes causing great stress. I've definitely been on a vibe to lighten up. In the text, it mentioned when lightening up it may lighten up those around me. Lightening things up is important as a wife, mother and educator.
