The Courage To Be 165: Leadership Lessons from a 12-Year-Old: How to Turn Disappointment into Inspired Action
What do you do when something you really want isn’t happening? Most of us give up or wait for someone else to lead.
But this week, I watched my 12-year-old daughter remind me what courage really looks like — when you lead from inspiration instead of waiting for permission.
It’s a story about creativity, collaboration, and how courage shows up in the smallest yet most powerful ways.
🎧 A quick five-minute reflection on leadership, action, and what it means to move with heart.
If this story resonates with you, please share it with a friend who’s been holding back on an idea or dream. Sometimes, all we need is a reminder that courage starts with one inspired “yes.”
