✨ Friday reflections from 𝗦𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘀 𝗟𝗜𝗩𝗘 ✨

I was the 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘤𝘰𝘤𝘬𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘰𝘤𝘬𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘴, one of the final speakers late on a Friday afternoon. I took that as my cue to dial up the energy and engagement.

After quite a week personally, my brain felt a little tired when I first took the mic. But as it always does, being in front of a room full of incredible women gave me energy. The moment I started speaking, something shifted. I saw nodding heads, laughter, and lightbulb moments.

The best feedback came afterward:

💬“𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘬 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘻𝘪𝘯𝘨!! 𝘓𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘵 𝘴𝘰 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘥 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘣𝘳𝘰𝘬𝘦 𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩 𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 3 𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘺 𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘱𝘴.”❤️

But what I loved most was sharing The New Golden Rule is that the message that continues to ground and guide me: 𝘛𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥.

Thank you to everyone at 𝗦𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘀 𝗟𝗜𝗩𝗘 for such a powerful, joy-filled afternoon especially Adrienne Garland and She Leads® Media.
