My impact and my power come from my ability and drive to make people feel happy, empowered, and motivated to make their dreams come true.

There is power in kindness, and I am convicted in my kindness to others. That is what makes me a powerful woman. Everyday, I strive to show kindness to everyone that I encounter. I constantly remind myself that the actions of others aren’t a reflection of who they are. I never know what someone has gone through or is going through, so I treat people the way I want to be treated.

“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” This quote from the great poet, Maya Angelou, is a perfect explanation to my leadership style and why I am making the world a better place.

Being powerful doesn’t always mean you have to be the outgoing, A-type personality that holds prestigious leadership positions- but all the power to you if you are that person because I sure as hell couldn’t do it- but it does mean that you make a positive impact on the lives of others. My impact and my power come from my ability and drive to make people feel happy, empowered, and motivated to make their dreams come true. It is true that people will never forget how you’ve made them feel, and if my kindness can inspire someone to do something great, or even just give them a breath of fresh air during a stressful time, to me that is power.
