I had to change the newsletter I planned for this week after hearing the most kickass response by VP Harris on the?Call Her Daddy?podcast. I have written about over-apologizing and how and when to apologize. You can see those articles here:?
Alex Cooper, host of the podcast, asked Kamala Harris about Sara Huckabee Sanders’ comment, “…my kids keep me humble. Unfortunately, Kamala Harris doesn't have anything keeping her humble." ?
?
I literally clapped out loud and whooped at her response. Harris didn’t buy into the premise. She didn’t defend or explain. She simply said, "There are a lot of women out here who are not aspiring to be humble." YES!?
She also said, "I don’t think she” (Sanders) “understands there are a lot of women out here who have a lot of love in their life, family in their life, and children in their life, and I think it's really important for women to lift each other up." YES, YES, YES!?
This is a leader’s mindset. This is a?Connected Leader’s?mindset.?
Kamala’s response exemplified the philosophy of people first and I had to highlight it. Don’t buy into other people’s definition of what is right or good. Define that for yourself.?
