“Leadership is looking inside. Today we are alone/together and we are all self-leaders. Let’s show each other how we can partner for good, share hope, promote systems that unite and empower each other. Above all else, what the world needs in its leaders today is calm compassion. Start with a heart for all on a path for all in a world for all.”
-Barbara Burton
