Wednesday Wisdom: WORTH- Speak Your Truth, Know Your Worth, Mind Your Bridle! Good Day, Leaders! When conflict shows up, does your self-worth speak for you—or does your discomfort take the lead? “When three people call you an ass, put on your bridle.” — Spanish Proverb I laughed when I first read this proverb!

Wednesday Wisdom: Trust Who You Are Becoming “Who do I think I am, anyway?” — Graffiti on a wall in New York How does that question land with you? Before answering, pause: -Breathe in slowly… Exhale. -Again…breathe in... Exhale. -Release the noise, the expectations, the titles, and — just for a moment — other people’s perceptions of who you are supposed to be. Now ask yourself: Who do I think I am, anyway?

Freedom Friday: TRUST is Built not Demanded “Hope is not passive. It is an act of courage that says, ‘I believe tomorrow can be better—and I’m willing to help make it so.’” As we close August’s theme of FAITH and step into September’s theme of TRUST, I’m reminded: Faith may give us the courage to move forward.

July Theme | Understanding What if the breakthrough you’re waiting for doesn’t begin with achieving more—but with understanding more?
