Sonia,

Fantastic post. A great reminder of how wonderful we all are even though some may feel they are flawed. Embrace who you are and celebrate. Share and impact others in a positive way.

I think back to leaders I have worked for and remember how frustrated I would become when a few of these leaders would cast off people who didn't fit into their box of what or how a valuable employee should act or contribute.  These so called "leaders"  cast off these unique and amazing individuals because they didn't understand the importance of accepting people for who they are and failed to take the time to gain a deep understanding of how their unique differences could be utilized to help the individual achieve greater heights and improve our organization.

As a leader and as an individual our legacy should be one of impacting others in a positive way without thinking about how we will benefit from doing so.
