Sharon,

You've made my day with your comments, thank you for encouraging my heart. Like many leaders, I find myself referring to my values on a regular basis particularly when faced with difficult decisions or courses of action. The power of values-based leadership cannot be overstated -- from a personal and professional perspective. Many of us define ourselves through the outside-looking-in -- I'm a ________. I work for _________. While that's not a bad thing, it's not the only thing. We need to define ourselves from the inside out. I am a mom. I am intuitive. I am expressive. I am loving.

Thanks again for your comments. Leadership blessings to you!
