On August 4, 2017, my co-facilitators and I were completing the last day of a leadership academy in Bangalore, India with a group of fourteen thoughtful, energetic, and talented people. As I watched the group collaboratively interact together in pursuit being inspiring leaders, the beauty of the experience compelled me to write the following poem.
An innocent joy
Filled with curiosity
Shines with radiant colors.
It compels us to discovery.
Ideas intermingle
In a weave of hope.
Yours, mine, together
Shared with ego free edge.
Why? Our hearts beat
To the rhythm of feeling valued,
Experiencing community, and
Living with purpose.
I hope you are inspired today to lead with curiosity, edge, and purpose.
