“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.”— John Q. Adams
A few weeks back, I came across the quote above. Written so long ago, it was a reminder that the role of leadership, at its core, does not change. At all times it is about connectivity, knowing ourselves well enough to understand the impact, positive and negative, that we have on others. And it is about having the intention to make the spaciousness in the day to better understand and to connect more deeply with ourselves and with those around us.

He shared some stories from his lifelong quest to defend those unable to defend themselves, his life of giving of himself through his writing and his notoriety. And, he shared an observation that “you must be before you can give.”
