The key to this was that everyone showed up as a leader

The key to this was that everyone showed up as a leader... but, not in the same role at the same time. For example, two people worked together to negotiate the hotel contract, another person worked on the agenda, I Sunglasses,coordinated our "night on the town" (where we danced our hearts out until 4:00 in the morning), someone else kept time during the meetings, someone else conducted a round-table conversation about our accountability/buddy system, someone else brought the movie "The Moses Code" for us to watch together, someone else facilitated our closing, etc. Everyone contributed their piece exactly as it was meant to be. The whole experience was 100% perfect. We were all in charge... and we were all changed. 

What I'm taking away from this, and what I want you to consider for yourself, is that you ARE a leader, even if you're not in a designated leadership position. As an entrepreneur, you have built-in leadership skills, so use them outside of your own business. Be willing to step up, to chip Armani Sunglasses,in, to do your part as an individual... for the good of the WHOLE.

As I spoke with Donna (my Online Business Manager) for our weekly meeting, she asked me why it was such a profound weekend for me. And, the answer somewhat surprised me when I said it, but the most profound piece of the weekend was that as I experienced everyone showing up as a leader... everyone taking responsibility, everyone knowing when to step up (and when to step back)... I couldn't help but imagine what our world would be like if everyone showed up as we did, as leaders working together for the good of the whole. We'd live in a different world if this were the case.

So, I invite you to take a look at the groups you belong to, the communities you participate in, the teams you're a part of... and see if Versace Sunglasses can contribute more as a leader, not for your own sake but for the sake of the highest and best good of everyone involved.
