This is my very first blog post!  I have been wanting to do this for some time, and just needed a good kick in the pants to get started.  I got that yesterday!  I attended a leadership seminar in downtown Cincinnati where we created vision boards – I will have to remember to post a picture of mine – and one thing I had on mine was “wish do.” So here I am doing!

This blog will be based on my 15 years of leadership, and will include stories of leadership situations, leadership opportunities, and leadership dreams and wishes I have for myself and my team.  I am hoping to help others expand their thoughts about what is at the heart of leadership, and will include tons of references to book, articles, and academic research.

Many of the posts will touch on important aspects of diversity.  This is a particular passion of mine, and I believe a critical element to leadership.  While my focus here will largely be on gender diversity, given that I am female, I will touch on all aspects of diversity as they arise.

Today our world is a mess.  Leadership is critical to the solution.
