I know exactly what I want to share with you this week but, as I sit here trying to write, I am really struggling to get my “head in the game” and my keyboard going. What is happening to thousands of Ukrainians – and the Russian forces’ families – weighs so heavily on my heart. Not to mention the Saudi bombing of Yemen, Israel’s new attack on Syria or the US bombing of Somalia, which should be mentioned and receiving media attention! We live in such a broken world, with too many low EQ bully power-hungry leaders. So, more than ever, we need to take the Key Steps I had in mind for us this week. The timing couldn’t be more apt, in fact. Action couldn’t be more needed. We might not be able to do anything to directly stop the Russian invasion, but we can sweep our own doorstep and take Goethe’s advice when he said, “If every man would sweep his own doorstep, the whole world would be clean.”
The sweeping clean I am talking about is continually becoming more and more aware of our unconscious bias and actively working to truly be more inclusive and holistic in the way we work, the way we love, the way we live and the way we lead. As we head into March – with 8 March being International Women’s Day – we have the opportunity to deeply reflect on what it means to #breakthebias, practise inclusion and take Key Steps together to really…
‘be the difference that makes the difference.’
