Leadership in Action
Please click on the links below (Black font) to see examples of my Leadership experiences.

Leadership is not about who you are or where you come from.  It’s about what you do (Kouzes and Posner, 2010) Leadership is a choice!  A choice to serve. A choice to learn. Leadership is not about characteristics, but rather abilities.  It is the ability to influence and/or lead others to a shared belief, goal, or purpose. It is the ability to move people, not mandates. It is the ability to stay relevant and informed in one’s profession. It is the ability to permanently and conceptually change one's behavior and thinking.  It’s purpose is to create a sustainable future for generations to come.
