Reading this quote from Margaret Mead reminded me also of a story shared by Anita Roddick – founder and CEO of The Body Shop – she shared how you can make a difference no matter how small! She asked her readers to think of one mosquito in a tent and the impact it has. This got me thinking…..is this because the mosquito is completely focused, unconcerned about needing my approval and wanting to achieve its goal of drawing my blood even when I don’t agree?

So back to Margaret’s quote:

“A small group of thoughtful people could change the world. Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”

Participants of our Courageous Leaders development initiatives believe they CAN make a difference; they can inspire change……and when there is a population of emerging leaders ready to challenge the status quo…..watch out I say! So to all of our past and current participants keep unleashing your courage to inspire change! And remember size, number, hierarchical position is not nearly as important as you think it is!
