Then I visited with a friend that is a stay-at-home grandmother. She said she wasn’t sure if leadership articles would be of value to her now that she is no longer working outside of the home. (Even though she is a leader in her home and does a lot of volunteer work!) …Then she went on to share her appreciation for the way the learning’s in these posts often challenge her thinking and apply to her life.

The CEO got a high five, my friend received a virtual hug, and my cells danced as I thought of how their actions and comments emphasize three important truths:

[Tweet “Leadership lessons apply to EVERYONE. (No matter where you sit or what season you are in.)”]

[Tweet “New insights that instigate action… Change the future. “]

[Tweet “If you aren’t learning and growing, you’re dying.”]

So today’s post is for anyone who wants to keep growing and learning and for anyone who is not sure how leadership lessons apply to them.

Below are links to several resources…

SPEAKERS:

If you are looking for a speaker… I was recently honored to be included on a list of 100 Great Leadership Speakers for your next Conference by Inc.com. And yes – I’d love to serve you!

At the same time I have to confess that I’d be thrilled to sit in the audience and hear any of the people on this list! I’ve admired and learned from many of these leaders for years, co-authored books with several of them, and follow the rest of them.

No matter what season you are in,

your knowledge and skills are still needed.
