I’m joining you from Maryland. 💻 What industry or profession am I in? Technology and leadership have been at the center of my career for nearly 30 years.

💜 Leadership Thought: You Don’t Have to Have the Title to Lead
One thing I learned throughout my career is that leadership doesn’t begin when someone gives you a title. Leadership shows up in how you communicate, how you solve problems, how you respond when things get difficult, how you support others, and whether people can depend on you. Sometimes we spend so much time preparing for the next position that we don’t recognize the opportunities we already have to demonstrate leadership right where we are. Something to think about: Where are you already leading—even if your title doesn’t say “leader”? And if you’re working toward your next opportunity, what is one leadership behavior you can demonstrate more intentionally this week? Share below.
