  • I remember when I first started my thought leadership journey. I was nervous, unsure, had no time, what to write about. All the reasons to avoid it. But I took the leap and just started... then got help... then support.. then community. I get to help so many more on a larger scale, it's awesome. So turn those weaknesses into strengths, it's so worth it.
