When you think of leadership, what comes to mind? Is it being the one in the driver's seat calling the shots, or maybe someone others look to for insight?

There are two ways we can learn and grow: doing, and hearing others' stories about what they've done. This week, we address the concept that if you're going to lead others, you need to be a reader who learns from other people's experiences and stories. While it's important for us to do things we've never done in order for us to stretch ourselves, reading other people's accounts of what they've done and how they grew as a result is a key way to grow without having to learn certain lessons the hard way. // Follow us on Instagram at @every_day_podcast, and leave us a review to share the love!

“Should the cabin lose pressure, oxygen masks will drop from the overhead area. Please place the mask over your own mouth and nose before assisting others.” It's a concept we understand in airplanes, but we don't always follow that advice for our own lives. When we're leading others, in order to be the best leader for others, we must first pour into ourselves first. // Follow us on Instagram at @every_day_podcast and subscribe to keep up to date.
