Top highlights from WOLFPACK
Failure is not something to be ashamed ofnor is it proof of unworthiness. Failure is something to be powered by. When we live afraid to fail, we dont take risks. We dont bring our entire selves to the tableso we end up failing before we even begin. Lets stop worrying: What if I fail? Instead, lets promise ourselves: When I fail, Ill stick around.

Leadership is taking care of yourself and empowering others to do the same. Leadership is not a position to earn, its an inherent power to claim. Leadership is the blood that runs through your veinsits born in you. Its not the privilege of a few, it is the right and responsibility of all. Leader is not a title that the world gives to youits an offering that you give to the world.

You might find yourself holding a baby instead of a briefcase and fearing that your colleagues are getting ahead and leaving you behind. Heres whats important: You are allowed to be disappointed when it feels like lifes benched you. What you arent allowed to do is miss your opportunity to lead from the bench. If youre not a leader on the bench, dont call yourself a leader on the field. Youre either a leader everywhere or nowhere.

Leadership is volunteering at the local school, speaking encouraging words to a friend, and holding the hand of a dying parent. Its tying dirty shoelaces and going to therapy and saying to our families and friends: No. We dont do unkindness here. Its signing up to run for the school board and its driving that single moms kid home from practice and its creating boundaries that prove to the world that you value yourself. Leadership is taking care of yourself and empowering others to do the same.

Women must stop following the Old Rules, which exist only to maintain the status quo. If we follow the rules we've always followed, the game will remain the same. Old ways of thinking will never help us build a new world. Out with the Old. In with the New.

The world needs to see women take risks, fail big, and insist on their right to stick around and try again. And again. And again. A champion never allows a short-term failure to take her out of the long-term game. A woman who doesn't give up can never lose.
