Confidence gets you in the game, but competence makes you unstoppable. Master both, and you don’t just succeed - you lead! 💜 Mindtap (Michelle Champagne)

Drop the doubt. Clarity comes when you trust yourself. 💜 Mindtap (c) Nour Al-Houda

I almost didn't do it. Who would listen to me? I hardly knew anyone. I wasn't an officer. But I saw the problems. I felt the tension. And I couldn't just do nothing. Over 10 years ago, we recently joined this church because we loved the children's programs for our growing family. It wasn't until a few weeks later that I started to notice • the hushed conversations • the finger pointing • the negativity. I knew these were all good people, but something was going on between the pastor and associate pastor dividing everyone. And then I had an idea. I offered to lead a project to re-ground the church in a new mission statement. To allow people to come together to create vs. tear down to unify. Since no one had any better ideas, they said sure - let's do it. We called it Project Butterfly so we could transform and fly. And through the turmoil (both pastors ended up leaving) I led us to create something we were all proud to be a part of. Usually giving would take a serious hit through this much uncertainty. But donations actually INCREASED ($$) because Project Butterfly gave people hope. This is how leadership happens: Observe → See a problem. Have an Idea → See a solution. Make it Happen → Have the courage to see it through. I help diverse professionals to lead and make a difference, even if they don't have 'the title' for it. If you're shutting down your ideas, you'll never know the difference you can make.

Your priorities shape your reality - what you give your energy to is what grows. 💜 Mindtap

Success is built by trying, learning, improving, and never stopping. 💜 Mindtap

Confidence isn’t just a feeling it’s built through preparation, practice, and persistence. The more you prepare, the stronger you stand, and the less doubt has a chance to creep in. 💜 Mindtap

Strength is knowing your worth, trusting your abilities, and standing firm in who you are. Your value isn’t in what you do but in the confidence, impact, and presence you bring. 💜 Mindtap

Effort beats expectation. Put in the work, and results will follow.

Recognition isn’t optional - it’s a leadership superpower. Use it often. Use it wisely.
