Have you ever worked under a great leader? I have twice. Both those leaders were fair, trusted those who worked under them and treated the people they lead with respect. I was blessed to work under a great family man and community member and an extraordinary female Métis leader.
How about you? How do you treat the people you work with and those in your friends and family circle? I’ve changed my circle; the only people I allow near me are trustworthy and have integrity. I can reach out to those closest to me and share when things aren’t going so well; my friends and I celebrate one another success and are there for one another when needed.
I’m grateful to have a support network to ask for help and guidance when it’s needed. The thing about confidence is as you learn to respect and love yourself, when you don’t like the feeling of your boundaries being broken you’re more willing to stand up for yourself.
This past weekend, someone I adore told me that she looks up to me and has been listening to my music to help motivate her to make some necessary life choices. Wow! I’m grateful to be sharing what I have learned through my experiences and music, speaking and writing give me the avenue and opportunity to be of service.
I read today, never follow a leader who is more in love with power than people. I am so incredibly grateful to have leadership in my community that values honesty, fairness, kindness and making decisions that are best for our nation. I come from a long line of matriarch leaders, and my role in the community and classroom are not something I take lightly.
I’m happy to announce, I have new music coming real soon in 2020, and I thank you real ones out there that support all that I do.
