Green Buckeye

Tuesday I took some "me time" and went to see Margaret Wheatley lecture at OSU. I was cautiously optimistic - hopeful that it would be worth the effort to leave work early, drive the 15 miles into the city, and find public parking.

I needn't have been so cautious - Meg was far more inspiring than I hoped! Her presentation was visually beautiful, and it was built on photographs she had taken herself and quotes from famous and not-so-famous folks. She taught by way of stories and anecdotes about leaders and at the end, even a poem.

All in all, she modeled the leadership she was teaching.

Stories of great leaders and teachers like Wangari Maathai inspire me to "walk on," even when the way seems steep and narrow.

What inspires you?
