"Leadership is not a position, it's the way you lead your life."
An instructor at Cardinal Stritch University said this in one of my classes. It's stuck with me for quite a while. I think I like this quote so much because it's empowering.
Many of us might not hold a "leadership position" but we can still be a leader. We can be the person colleagues come to for help, advice, ideas, and inspiration. We can stay current by seeking out professional development. We can support the schools we work at by volunteering for committees, attending after school events, and representing the school at community meetings. We can get more involved in our community by attending local events such as outdoor concerts, high school plays and sporting events, farmer's markets, and fundraising events for local organizations. We can serve our community by volunteering with our neighborhood associations, schools, or a community agency whose work we admire.
You can be a leader.
Get involved. Take action. Make a difference.
