Quilt with Me…I’ll Quilt with You

Community CoLeadership
I’m not a crafty person. My Mother was – good with crafts, that is. When it came to quilting, there were too many intricacies, I thought, as I watched her thread pieces of fabric together during my childhood. I liked to keep things simple…crafts were not for me. As I grew older, I ported my…

The Power of “I Declare”

I was struck yesterday with the realization that toddlers have mastered the formula for declaring. Raising their voices, waving their arms, stomping their feet … they declare what they want with all their being.

Looking Conflict in the Eye

I don’t like conflict may not be the words many people say aloud; however, they’re often the words that can drive a variety of behaviors: passive-aggressive actions; gossiping or back-channeling; “polite Southern” quips; hard-nosed attacks; or simply complete avoidance.

Lasting Legacy

Legacy and Commitment
Someone once wrote “people want to leave a legacy because they want to feel that their life mattered.” That’s one perspective. I have a different one: Leaving a legacy isn’t about my life; rather, it’s about leaving something that benefits others and makes them feel that their lives and experiences matter. It’s about ways you…

You Gotta Be Startin’ Something

leadership impact
You know that feeling when you do something and others catch on? Like a brave soul who gets on an empty dance floor and others follow? One small action can propel others into movement.
