If you are a leader,
today is your day
to open a conversation,
to set the ground rules,
to be vulnerable,
to be compassionate,
to be understanding.
If you are a leader,
today is also your day
to be strong,
to be clear,
to stand up so others can be heard.
(I didn’t say it would be easy.)
You may be thinking,
“I’m not a leader.
I don’t have a title.
I just started here.
I don’t have any power.”
But don’t kid yourself,
in whatever situation you find yourself,
someone is looking to you,
and that makes you
a leader.
And
every day
is today.
