My Leadership Philosophy

"The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away" (Pablo Picasso). Purpose goes beyond our physical and emotional needs. Purpose is something that is deeper. It's not just about our needs, dreams in life, talents, and abilities. It's all about our existence in this world. But how do I find my purpose? My heart is my best tool to find my true purpose and passion. When I am inspired and connected to what makes me happy, inspiration will flood my heart and soul. When I lead from my heart I am naturally more joyful and motivated to explore. By doing what I love to do, I will be inspired and gain insights into what brings the most joy to me. We need to try new things to find what truly inspires us. We all have a

Leadership is an art. It is a unique combination of knowing oneself and giving the best of it away for a greater purpose. To be a leader means having to put my own personal needs behind me and to put others needs in front of me.

I love having the opportunity to be the one that people look up to because I've always wanted to leave my footprint on this earth. There are many ways to leave my footprint on this earth, some small and some big. By teaching people my good habits and ways of living, I hope that they will continue to do the same as me, which will carry on my footsteps for generations to come. Having this opportunity to help and teach people brings great joy to myself. I never thought of me being the one that people admire and follow in their footsteps. I was always the follower. Now it is my turn to lead and show people that nothing is impossible, that anything can be accomplished if they put their minds to it, and that most of all to follow their hearts. These opportunities have made me very proud of what I have become and that I hope to see myself follow the path of being a leader and maybe taking it to a higher level in my near
