?? Want to Lead with Confidence? Start with Optimism! Leadership isn’t always easy — and if you’re feeling overwhelmed, you’re not alone. Being an optimistic leader doesn’t mean ignoring challenges. It’s about finding strength in the face of them. Here are a few simple strategies to help you stay positive and lead with impact: ?? Limit Your News Intake Constant negativity can drain your energy. Curate your news sources, check in with them on a schedule, and step away. Protect your mental space. ?? Your Circle Shapes You Surround yourself with positive people — mentors, friends, or colleagues who inspire and motivate you. Optimism is contagious. ?? Have Hobbies That Excite You Step away from work and embrace activities that recharge you. Whether it’s painting, running, or cooking — hobbies can be powerful mood boosters. ?? Prioritize Relationships Be kind, forgiving, and generous. Strong connections build resilience and provide the support you need to lead with confidence. ?? Which of these strategies could boost your leadership mindset today? I'd love to hear what works for you! #Leadership #PositivityInBusiness #OptimismMatters #BusinessOfLight

Engage, Educate and Elevate the lighting industry in the Business of Light
关于我们
Overview The BUSINESS OF LIGHT is nonprofit (pending) 501c3 dedicated to lighting designers, lighting manufacturers, representatives, and lighting entrepreneurs with vision and drive but who also lack the critical business skills necessary to either grow and thrive in their existing situation or successfully launch a new enterprise. What inspired the Business of Light? Business of Light comes from a desire to honor the contributions of two recently retired lighting industry icons, Barbara Horton and Stephen Lees, who, at HLB Lighting Design, built a legacy as lighting design leaders who also developed a culture of business fundamentals to mentor the firm’s next generation. Inspired by the theme a rising tide lifts all boats a group of lighting industry luminaries have come together to inspire and champion the next generation of lighting firm leaders by developing educational programming focused on the Business of Light. BOL will provide the educational platform with expert consultants on relevant topics for leaders and emerging leaders to realize their full potential. Luminaries Barbara Horton, FIALD, CLD, CEO Emeritus HLB Lighting Design Stephen Lees, FIALD COO Emeritus HLB Lighting Design David Ghatan, FIALD, CLD CM Kling + Associates Chip Israel, FIALD, FIES, LEED AP Lighting Design Alliance Steven Rosen, FIALD, MIES Available Light Denise Fong, FIALD, CLD Principal Emeritus Stantec Carrie Hawley, IALD, MIES, LEED AP HLB Lighting Design Anna Sbokou, IALD Maggie Giusto, LIRC, Axis Lighting Tom Warton, LIRC, Vode Lighting Katherine Stekr, IALD, CLD, HLB Lighting Our Mission Empower individuals through education and mentorship to grow and sustain lighting businesses

Diversity is Everywhere—If You See It ?? An orchard with only one type of apple? Vulnerable. ?? A portfolio with only one stock? Risky. ?? A meal without seasoning? Bland. The same goes for our teams, schools, and communities. Diversity brings strength, security, and flavor to life. Celebrate it. Defend it. Speak up, speak out! Repost if you agree. #StrongerTogether #DiversityMatters Annie Bevan Juliet L. Rogers, PHD, MPH Edward Bartholomew Sam Koerbel
