Not a leader – but I lead

Do you see yourself as a leader?

I do not see myself as a leader in the traditional sense. I do not command rooms or chase recognition, however, I do lead by example.

As a nurse and a teacher, I try to guide through action, showing care, clarity, and integrity in my interactions. Leadership, to me, is quiet, it is human, and it is grounded in values.

I lead by treating others the way I would want to be treated, with respect, patience, and kindness.

Leadership does not have to be loud. Sometimes, it is just being the kind of person others feel safe around.
