I don't know Lizabeth Rolfson, but I'm incredibly grateful for her. She's the reason why I'm doing what I'm doing.
I want to help people and make this world a bit easier for others.
The unique way I do that is by educating on the topic of communications and social media. That's my lane and the lens through which I view that topic is my way of guiding others and making my mark.
There are people watching and following you and you don't even know it.
Share what you know, voice your unique take, be brave, take bold inspired action, listen to that spark inside of you getting excited by the thought of your special presence impacting a complete stranger one day, and do it over and over and over again.
I wholeheartedly believe that if we all showed up in our personal and professional lives with the intention to give more than the desire to take, to help others with our individual physical and mental gifts, to default to seeing the good in others before the negative; that's the way to a lasting legacy.
What's one way you can add value in your own unique way this week?
Thank you for including me in your list, Lizabeth Rolfson . ??
