**Beginning…**

I saw this quote this morning:

“He who has begun has half done. Dare to be wise; begin!” — Horace

Frankly, it’s amazing how, with appropriate intention, the right things show up in service!

Don’t know what to say?

Well, not knowing what to say doesn’t stop some of us… perhaps it should?

Since 1988, when I made the decision to pursue leadership rather than being led, I’ve been working on what to say.

When in doubt, inquire.

On Oct 3, 2024, which would have been my mother’s 90th birthday, I’m going to launch a new platform at LeadU.com/news.

I’ve been busy figuring out what to say. That process led me down a ‘path of paths’ into codifying helping skills and models… finally realizing it’s not what I say but what I hear that really matters.

In the posts that follow, I’ll choreograph the convoluted nature of listening and hearing and how the way you talk can change what you hear.

I’m still finalizing all the stuff that goes into all the rigmarole of launching a platform, so if you are an early adopter, there will be opportunities to play along.

Opportunities abound (you haven’t seen anything yet!) in helping, leading, coaching, and training as a start, so come jump on the wagon early and watch it unfold.

My plan is to unpack it all right here in front of you along the way.
