Leadership In One’s Own Life

Without sounding too simplistic, I submit that each of us can embody leadership. Now, leadership gets bounced around quite a bit in the coaching world. I propose that we each manifest leadership of our own life. Doesn’t great stress occur when we feel as if life is leading us? Yes, at times life deals cards that feel insurmountable and incredibly painful.

Regardless of career or life position, leading one’s own life aligned with values and purpose takes courage, intention, patience, humor, and wisdom, with a slice of humble pie.

“May I ask you a highly personal question? It’s what life does all the time.”—Kurt Vonnegut
