Dad visited us on our Authentic Leadership Course today.  Why would he?  Well actually why wouldn’t he?  As authentic leaders are we as one with the world?  Who are the people we love and hold?  If we look a little deeper could it be that those people are the very same people that shaped our leadership from its earliest days?

As I walked with Dad and the participants today, a sense of pride for my Dad, myself and for the folk who were with us rose within me.  Here was a group of people, strangers to me and each other only five days ago, embracing my father with respect, kindness and genuine interest in what he had to offer.

Look around you – maybe that unique leadership story which is the key to your authenticity is closer than you think.
