➡️ Two Election Day Resources for you

Hey Reader, It's Election Day in the United States: perhaps you're off, facilitating a PD day like so many leaders I know, or running remote school. (just me? 🙃) I wanted to send 2 resources that may be useful to you:
As leaders, you'll be responding in real time to results like everyone else, and who knows what kinds of shenanigans and complicaations lie in store? My hope is that by sending it to you, you will never need it, but just in case you do, it's here. Check out the essay and subscribe to Born to Lead if it's helpful.

If you're going to be there, hit reply and let me know or text me at 312-373-0315. Would love to meet up IRL! The second thing is... I published an essay on...
Hey Reader! Chances are pretty high you've heard me share something like this before-- In a Leadership Lift, at a conference, on a date, on the the sidelines at a flag football game... I talk about this all.the.time. I was a casual fan until a fateful night in 2007, when I had an epiphany about leadership that shook my world--and shaped the way I have led since then in every way.
