Winston Churchill said, "Mountaintops inspire leaders, but valleys mature them."
Men and women discover themselves during their days in the valley. Those Valley experiences prepare them for the mountaintop.
However, the key to successfully move through the valley is personal leadership.
Sadly, when some people hear about personal leadership, they think about perfection.
Personal leadership is never on the premise that you are a perfect being. The basic ideology is that your are to take responsibility for your life outcomes.
It has never been an issue of acting perfect. It's recognizing that you are on a journey. And the end of the journey is greatly dependent on the decisions you take per time.
It's on this note that I bring to you Lead Your Life Series.
If you follow me on any of my social media channels, you would have seen me share about "Lead Your Life Series."
It's a special edition of Lead Your Life Podcast. We would be sharing real life experiences of how personal struggles and seeming setbacks were turned into phenomenal stories of hope and grace.
You won't be hearing my voice. I would feature different people from different works of life.
Basically, I hope to inspire and empower you to begin or continue taking responsibility for your own life outcomes as you aspire to live a life of impact and fulfillment.
Today, we launch Lead Your Life Series with the first episode.
I have a phenomenal lady this week.
