It's May-Symbolizing love and success, the deep green stone is thought to bring foresight, good fortune and youth to the wearer. It's also a symbol of rebirth and new beginnings — an appropriate symbol of spring. The lily of the valley represents sweetness and humility, purity of heart and honor.

It is also the time for #16 of Career Specialists, Influencers, Change Makers, LinkedIn Leaders & Trailblazers who inspire, give great advice & change lives every day!

?? It’s not about shouting from the roof tops what you do, but how you do it and what the #outcomes are from you doing it.

Rob Howze

You can be all that you dream to be. You can have all you dream to have. You just have to be committed to loving yourself unconditionally. Forget your mistakes, forget your shortcomings, and remember that you were Born to Win!

Mary Henderson

So how do you stand out from these 'wanna be' experts? The only way I know is to ensure that your Personal Brand and your Offer is 100% congruent. When your Personal Brand is an expression of our Offer, you are believable, trustable and confident in your delivery.

Let me explain something. Your story, gifts, traits, abilities even your adversities play a big part of creating your Personal Brand. Your PROMISE & MESSAGE are derived from all those elements that fall under your Personal Brand.

The wannabe's don't have a Personal Brand. They don't have a consistent story. Their social presence is inconsistent and everything is a quick fix.

Tim Alison

Newsflash folks! Perseverance is a two-way street. You got that? Perseverance can get you closer to, or further away from, the life you want. Putting your head down, and assuming that time will fix everything is a bad strategy.

Ria Story

There will be sacrifice. When you strive to reach the top of the mountain you can trust it will be a difficult climb. Leaders dream of influencing other people but you must earn the right to do so. Because earning the right to lead ensures you will become the leader who is worth following.

Edwin Correa

My philosophy is uniquely based on the human experience and being accountable for your actions. You are the writer, actor and director of your life’s story. Either you are accountable for your actions or you will be made accountable by your circumstances.

Eric Qualman

Write down two pieces of output that you need to do today. Then, hyperfocus on those two items to make sure they get done by the end of the day. Finally, it’s all about practicing this habit on a day-to-day basis until it's ingrained into your daily routine. "Done" beats "Will Do" EVERY. TIME.

Rachel Beck

Remember..

Those who gave you your first chance.

Those who believed in you, when no one else did.

Those who are with you on the beginning of your journey.Those who gave you courage.

Those who encouraged you.

Those who have gave you strength when you needed it.

Those who opened doors for you, when the doors were closed.

Those who said “Yes” when others said “No”

Those who took the time to be there for you.

Those who listened to your story.

Those who loved you, when you were just you.

Those who said, “I am here and always will be.”

Brian Ochieng 

Life is all about struggle. Challenges are part of life and we should conquer and take them positively. When you found yourself in any challenge, others might be a life taking challenge, there is only one weapon. Fight with tirelessly with determination. Do not give up. When you give up that mean the end of you. Losing hope is the greatest sin you would ever commit. Never and never lose hope.

Brenda Meller (Zawacki)

As you’re getting your week started, you may not be looking forward to the week ahead. Remember this: it’s character building.

If you aren’t seeing a strong, inspirational leader anywhere around you, it’s character building.

If you’ve got a boss who berates you in front of your team and never acknowledges your strengths, it’s character building.

If you feel stuck in your job and it no longer gives you joy, it’s character building.

And if you read something today on LinkedIn that inspires you, that gives you hope, and that makes you want to be a better person, it’s character building.

Keep your chin up and remember who you are. Never stoop to their level. I believe in you. And you are building your character. Every day.

Lewis Howes

When you find peace in your heart, and conquer your inner world, that’s when you manifest your dreams in the physical world

Monica Gibbs

The best view comes after the hardest climb.

Unstoppable Tracy Schmitt

1. Exceed uncertainty
2. Embrace possibility
3. Earn independence

“Being uncertain is no excuse for inaction"

Amy Cuddy

Presence is about shedding whatever is blocking you from expressing who you are.

Anton Chumak Andryakov

If we chase happiness as a destination, it will always be something in the distance.

Tracy Hornik and Jessica Wright

Power and importance doesn't decline with age it transforms.

Richard Moore

"Holding yourself back because you want to stick with the herd is probably the greatest way to remain distinctly average."

Happy May Every One!
