00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.029
Welcome to loud and lifted quick lifts. I'm your
00:00:03.029 --> 00:00:05.309
host Betsy Hamm. And in this quick lift episode,
00:00:05.490 --> 00:00:07.730
we spotlight the standout moments from our interview
00:00:07.730 --> 00:00:10.150
with Satine Donner, Associate Editor of Women
00:00:10.150 --> 00:00:12.949
in Restaurant Leadership at QSR and FSR magazine.
00:00:13.189 --> 00:00:15.509
Satine isn't just writing about industry change,
00:00:15.529 --> 00:00:18.469
she's actively leading it by building a national
00:00:18.469 --> 00:00:20.829
platform that uplifts and connects women across
00:00:20.829 --> 00:00:23.030
the restaurant world. Today, we're going to dive
00:00:23.030 --> 00:00:25.210
into three powerful takeaways that you can put
00:00:25.210 --> 00:00:27.949
into action immediately. Whether you're launching
00:00:27.949 --> 00:00:30.649
your own group or building authentic connections
00:00:30.649 --> 00:00:33.030
or just figuring out how to lead from where you
00:00:33.030 --> 00:00:35.990
are. These micro moments are packed with macro
00:00:35.990 --> 00:00:39.009
impact. Less than 10 minutes, this is your invitation
00:00:39.009 --> 00:00:42.030
to get clear, get bold and get going with actionable
00:00:42.030 --> 00:00:45.130
takeaways you can use right now to live louder
00:00:45.130 --> 00:00:56.750
and lead better. So quick lift action item inspired
00:00:56.750 --> 00:00:59.509
by Satine and number one is lead from where you
00:00:59.509 --> 00:01:02.039
are. So many times in my career, I have heard
00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:03.799
people say that they want to be in a position
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:07.060
of leadership or management and they want the
00:01:07.060 --> 00:01:09.719
opportunity to lead. Well, the reality is, is
00:01:09.719 --> 00:01:12.140
you can lead from any position. Yes, of course,
00:01:12.140 --> 00:01:14.379
it's going to look different if you are at a
00:01:14.379 --> 00:01:17.280
lower level in a big company, but... Despite
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:19.760
your age or your title, you can still make an
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:22.459
impact. If Satine didn't tell us at the beginning
00:01:22.459 --> 00:01:24.799
of the interview that she was 23, I think that
00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:26.519
probably would have surprised a lot of people.
00:01:26.739 --> 00:01:29.680
One, because of the role that she's in and the
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:33.079
impact she's making. But two, she was so impressive
00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:36.079
with her wisdom and her knowledge at such a young
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:39.099
age. So Satine was a great example of you can
00:01:39.099 --> 00:01:42.099
lead from any age or from any position. She had
00:01:42.099 --> 00:01:45.180
the opportunity to take this and run with it.
00:01:45.180 --> 00:01:48.370
And she's been running fast and furious and in
00:01:48.370 --> 00:01:50.450
the right direction, but we can't get hung up
00:01:50.450 --> 00:01:53.409
on titles and we can't get hung up on age that
00:01:53.409 --> 00:01:55.670
anybody can lead. And sometimes you may not feel
00:01:55.670 --> 00:01:57.689
like you have the opportunity, but that's where
00:01:57.689 --> 00:01:59.390
you have to maybe go outside your comfort zone
00:01:59.390 --> 00:02:02.109
a little bit more and raise your hand to be the
00:02:02.109 --> 00:02:04.870
leader of a project. Or maybe it's even an initiative
00:02:04.870 --> 00:02:07.569
or a volunteer group that's at your company.
00:02:07.750 --> 00:02:11.060
It might not look obvious at first but taking
00:02:11.060 --> 00:02:15.280
on those opportunities is a great way to Utilize
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:17.819
and strengthen your leadership and nothing else
00:02:17.819 --> 00:02:20.340
Try to focus on the pieces of a leadership that
00:02:20.340 --> 00:02:22.259
you think you need to improve on to be better
00:02:22.259 --> 00:02:25.159
We can always improve and you know some of the
00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:27.719
big pieces I think of what helps to make somebody
00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:30.800
strong and leadership is communication Communication
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:32.800
is something we can always work on because if
00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:34.939
you want to be able to lead people, you want
00:02:34.939 --> 00:02:36.879
to be able to inspire and you want to be able
00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:40.099
to guide. So in order to inspire and guide others
00:02:40.099 --> 00:02:43.759
around you, communication is huge. Can you connect
00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:46.219
with them? Can you build relationships? Can you
00:02:46.219 --> 00:02:48.939
clearly talk about your ideas or your thoughts
00:02:48.939 --> 00:02:50.800
or why you think something should or shouldn't
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:53.400
happen? So continuing to work on your communication
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:56.389
is continuing to improve your leadership. The
00:02:56.389 --> 00:02:58.770
other piece of that, as I mentioned, is relationships,
00:02:58.889 --> 00:03:01.889
which they really go hand in hand. And also emotional
00:03:01.889 --> 00:03:04.870
intelligence. We're working with people who have
00:03:04.870 --> 00:03:06.870
very different backgrounds and are coming to
00:03:06.870 --> 00:03:09.330
work every day with different stories. So being
00:03:09.330 --> 00:03:11.969
able to relate and understand and know where
00:03:11.969 --> 00:03:13.889
someone's coming from and know how to handle
00:03:13.889 --> 00:03:17.050
the response to that is huge. And again, if leadership
00:03:17.050 --> 00:03:19.370
is about inspiring and guiding others, this is
00:03:19.370 --> 00:03:22.189
how you're going to get people to want to come
00:03:22.189 --> 00:03:24.539
the direction that you're asking them to. So
00:03:24.539 --> 00:03:26.560
leadership isn't reserved for just the C -suite.
00:03:26.979 --> 00:03:29.620
Start with what you have and who you know. And
00:03:29.620 --> 00:03:31.680
if there's a gap and you see the space, fill
00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:35.080
it. Start the group, spark the idea, and raise
00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:38.500
your hand. Next quick lift action item, build
00:03:38.500 --> 00:03:41.479
a real community. Start with connection, not
00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:45.219
clout. Now, of course, Satine had the luxury,
00:03:45.219 --> 00:03:49.000
I guess you could say, to have a pretty big media
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:51.879
group backing this initiative so that certainly
00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:54.860
helped but even with a big group that can help
00:03:54.860 --> 00:03:57.740
get the name out there she still had to work
00:03:57.740 --> 00:03:59.879
on building those connections and she talked
00:03:59.879 --> 00:04:01.740
about bringing people in who she knew were going
00:04:01.740 --> 00:04:04.319
to be passionate about the project to get behind
00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:06.699
it and for them to be able to influence others
00:04:06.699 --> 00:04:08.699
that they had that voice where they could also
00:04:08.699 --> 00:04:11.490
help bring people into the mix. But that's great.
00:04:11.710 --> 00:04:13.629
You might not have the opportunity to come at
00:04:13.629 --> 00:04:15.870
it from that angle. So start small. Just gather
00:04:15.870 --> 00:04:18.050
a group. It could be different ages, backgrounds,
00:04:18.189 --> 00:04:20.649
and strengths, but people who you think can learn
00:04:20.649 --> 00:04:23.050
from each other. And just start with hosting
00:04:23.050 --> 00:04:26.389
a coffee or asking people go meet up for dinner
00:04:26.389 --> 00:04:29.389
or maybe you do a little panel. But prioritize
00:04:29.389 --> 00:04:32.389
honesty and good energy and having fun and let
00:04:32.389 --> 00:04:34.870
the space grow organically. You don't have to
00:04:34.870 --> 00:04:38.029
have 500 people in a room for your first event.
00:04:38.189 --> 00:04:40.259
That's awesome and it's amazing, but just start
00:04:40.259 --> 00:04:42.319
small, even if it's with three or four people.
00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:44.660
It may grow into something bigger with hundreds
00:04:44.660 --> 00:04:47.040
of women, or maybe it's not. Maybe it's just
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:49.439
building some new circles that will help benefit
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:52.680
those around you. So again, start small, whether
00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:54.720
it's your local business owners and you're trying
00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:57.040
to support each other, or you're at a big organization
00:04:57.040 --> 00:04:59.560
and you just need to have that connection. It
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:02.379
can start very naturally and organically, but
00:05:02.379 --> 00:05:04.220
you're going to have to reach out. If it doesn't
00:05:04.220 --> 00:05:07.500
exist, then take this as your sign to be the
00:05:07.500 --> 00:05:09.800
person who makes the first call. as the first
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:12.759
text. The other thing is there are a lot of organizations
00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:15.240
that already exist. So if starting one is maybe
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:18.660
not up your alley, look for what's in your industry.
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:20.720
It could be within your company. It could be
00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:23.920
within your industry. Volunteering for organizations
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:26.060
is actually a great way to reach people with
00:05:26.060 --> 00:05:28.399
diverse backgrounds. So maybe you can go volunteer
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:30.839
for the Salvation Army or for Girls on the Run
00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:33.540
or whatever organization you're passionate about.
00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:36.139
But that's a great way to meet people with different
00:05:36.139 --> 00:05:39.019
backgrounds that you can feel good about yourself
00:05:39.019 --> 00:05:40.920
and do some volunteering. your work or support
00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:43.860
an organization that's important to you but also
00:05:43.860 --> 00:05:46.670
a really great way to meet other women. And the
00:05:46.670 --> 00:05:50.189
last quick lift action item is elevate, educate,
00:05:50.370 --> 00:05:52.990
empower. And I'm going to add connect to this.
00:05:53.129 --> 00:05:55.250
The teen talked about that being her pillars,
00:05:55.310 --> 00:05:56.850
that that's what they go back to. That's what
00:05:56.850 --> 00:05:58.949
they're trying to fulfill. And those are great
00:05:58.949 --> 00:06:01.930
words. And even if you're not looking to start
00:06:01.930 --> 00:06:04.870
a organization, this is just great as you build
00:06:04.870 --> 00:06:07.230
out your circle. I keep going back to the circles.
00:06:07.290 --> 00:06:09.350
You can see how important I think this is, but
00:06:09.350 --> 00:06:11.329
as we've talked about, you need to have people
00:06:11.329 --> 00:06:13.569
around you who are supporting you, who are cheering
00:06:13.569 --> 00:06:16.879
for you and who are elevating. Educating is just
00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:18.540
maybe learning about something new or different
00:06:18.540 --> 00:06:21.480
or how to handle a situation, empowering each
00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:24.019
other and continuing to connect. So if you are
00:06:24.019 --> 00:06:26.459
looking to launch anything new, just ask yourself,
00:06:26.620 --> 00:06:28.759
does it lift women up? Does it help them grow?
00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:31.199
Does it give them a voice? And keep those pillars
00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:33.459
front and center and your impact will speak for
00:06:33.459 --> 00:06:36.899
itself. no matter how big or how small. So those
00:06:36.899 --> 00:06:39.199
are our quick lifts for today. They're pretty
00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:41.939
easy. They're about leading from where you are
00:06:41.939 --> 00:06:44.959
and whatever time of season and life you're in
00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:47.620
position, you can still be a leader. Continue
00:06:47.620 --> 00:06:49.860
to focus on building a real community, whether
00:06:49.860 --> 00:06:53.160
it's a bigger group or an organization or just
00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:56.759
focusing on your circles and continue to elevate,
00:06:57.040 --> 00:06:59.600
educate, empower, and connect. A lot of great
00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:01.959
advice here for today. And as the team said,
00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:05.100
act first, post later. And remember, we are cheering
00:07:05.100 --> 00:07:05.759
for you.
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.029
Welcome to loud and lifted quick lifts. I'm your
00:00:03.029 --> 00:00:05.309
host Betsy Hamm. And in this quick lift episode,
00:00:05.490 --> 00:00:07.730
we spotlight the standout moments from our interview
00:00:07.730 --> 00:00:10.150
with Satine Donner, Associate Editor of Women
00:00:10.150 --> 00:00:12.949
in Restaurant Leadership at QSR and FSR magazine.
00:00:13.189 --> 00:00:15.509
Satine isn't just writing about industry change,
00:00:15.529 --> 00:00:18.469
she's actively leading it by building a national
00:00:18.469 --> 00:00:20.829
platform that uplifts and connects women across
00:00:20.829 --> 00:00:23.030
the restaurant world. Today, we're going to dive
00:00:23.030 --> 00:00:25.210
into three powerful takeaways that you can put
00:00:25.210 --> 00:00:27.949
into action immediately. Whether you're launching
00:00:27.949 --> 00:00:30.649
your own group or building authentic connections
00:00:30.649 --> 00:00:33.030
or just figuring out how to lead from where you
00:00:33.030 --> 00:00:35.990
are. These micro moments are packed with macro
00:00:35.990 --> 00:00:39.009
impact. Less than 10 minutes, this is your invitation
00:00:39.009 --> 00:00:42.030
to get clear, get bold and get going with actionable
00:00:42.030 --> 00:00:45.130
takeaways you can use right now to live louder
00:00:45.130 --> 00:00:56.750
and lead better. So quick lift action item inspired
00:00:56.750 --> 00:00:59.509
by Satine and number one is lead from where you
00:00:59.509 --> 00:01:02.039
are. So many times in my career, I have heard
00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:03.799
people say that they want to be in a position
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:07.060
of leadership or management and they want the
00:01:07.060 --> 00:01:09.719
opportunity to lead. Well, the reality is, is
00:01:09.719 --> 00:01:12.140
you can lead from any position. Yes, of course,
00:01:12.140 --> 00:01:14.379
it's going to look different if you are at a
00:01:14.379 --> 00:01:17.280
lower level in a big company, but... Despite
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:19.760
your age or your title, you can still make an
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:22.459
impact. If Satine didn't tell us at the beginning
00:01:22.459 --> 00:01:24.799
of the interview that she was 23, I think that
00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:26.519
probably would have surprised a lot of people.
00:01:26.739 --> 00:01:29.680
One, because of the role that she's in and the
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:33.079
impact she's making. But two, she was so impressive
00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:36.079
with her wisdom and her knowledge at such a young
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:39.099
age. So Satine was a great example of you can
00:01:39.099 --> 00:01:42.099
lead from any age or from any position. She had
00:01:42.099 --> 00:01:45.180
the opportunity to take this and run with it.
00:01:45.180 --> 00:01:48.370
And she's been running fast and furious and in
00:01:48.370 --> 00:01:50.450
the right direction, but we can't get hung up
00:01:50.450 --> 00:01:53.409
on titles and we can't get hung up on age that
00:01:53.409 --> 00:01:55.670
anybody can lead. And sometimes you may not feel
00:01:55.670 --> 00:01:57.689
like you have the opportunity, but that's where
00:01:57.689 --> 00:01:59.390
you have to maybe go outside your comfort zone
00:01:59.390 --> 00:02:02.109
a little bit more and raise your hand to be the
00:02:02.109 --> 00:02:04.870
leader of a project. Or maybe it's even an initiative
00:02:04.870 --> 00:02:07.569
or a volunteer group that's at your company.
00:02:07.750 --> 00:02:11.060
It might not look obvious at first but taking
00:02:11.060 --> 00:02:15.280
on those opportunities is a great way to Utilize
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:17.819
and strengthen your leadership and nothing else
00:02:17.819 --> 00:02:20.340
Try to focus on the pieces of a leadership that
00:02:20.340 --> 00:02:22.259
you think you need to improve on to be better
00:02:22.259 --> 00:02:25.159
We can always improve and you know some of the
00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:27.719
big pieces I think of what helps to make somebody
00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:30.800
strong and leadership is communication Communication
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:32.800
is something we can always work on because if
00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:34.939
you want to be able to lead people, you want
00:02:34.939 --> 00:02:36.879
to be able to inspire and you want to be able
00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:40.099
to guide. So in order to inspire and guide others
00:02:40.099 --> 00:02:43.759
around you, communication is huge. Can you connect
00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:46.219
with them? Can you build relationships? Can you
00:02:46.219 --> 00:02:48.939
clearly talk about your ideas or your thoughts
00:02:48.939 --> 00:02:50.800
or why you think something should or shouldn't
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:53.400
happen? So continuing to work on your communication
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:56.389
is continuing to improve your leadership. The
00:02:56.389 --> 00:02:58.770
other piece of that, as I mentioned, is relationships,
00:02:58.889 --> 00:03:01.889
which they really go hand in hand. And also emotional
00:03:01.889 --> 00:03:04.870
intelligence. We're working with people who have
00:03:04.870 --> 00:03:06.870
very different backgrounds and are coming to
00:03:06.870 --> 00:03:09.330
work every day with different stories. So being
00:03:09.330 --> 00:03:11.969
able to relate and understand and know where
00:03:11.969 --> 00:03:13.889
someone's coming from and know how to handle
00:03:13.889 --> 00:03:17.050
the response to that is huge. And again, if leadership
00:03:17.050 --> 00:03:19.370
is about inspiring and guiding others, this is
00:03:19.370 --> 00:03:22.189
how you're going to get people to want to come
00:03:22.189 --> 00:03:24.539
the direction that you're asking them to. So
00:03:24.539 --> 00:03:26.560
leadership isn't reserved for just the C -suite.
00:03:26.979 --> 00:03:29.620
Start with what you have and who you know. And
00:03:29.620 --> 00:03:31.680
if there's a gap and you see the space, fill
00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:35.080
it. Start the group, spark the idea, and raise
00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:38.500
your hand. Next quick lift action item, build
00:03:38.500 --> 00:03:41.479
a real community. Start with connection, not
00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:45.219
clout. Now, of course, Satine had the luxury,
00:03:45.219 --> 00:03:49.000
I guess you could say, to have a pretty big media
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:51.879
group backing this initiative so that certainly
00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:54.860
helped but even with a big group that can help
00:03:54.860 --> 00:03:57.740
get the name out there she still had to work
00:03:57.740 --> 00:03:59.879
on building those connections and she talked
00:03:59.879 --> 00:04:01.740
about bringing people in who she knew were going
00:04:01.740 --> 00:04:04.319
to be passionate about the project to get behind
00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:06.699
it and for them to be able to influence others
00:04:06.699 --> 00:04:08.699
that they had that voice where they could also
00:04:08.699 --> 00:04:11.490
help bring people into the mix. But that's great.
00:04:11.710 --> 00:04:13.629
You might not have the opportunity to come at
00:04:13.629 --> 00:04:15.870
it from that angle. So start small. Just gather
00:04:15.870 --> 00:04:18.050
a group. It could be different ages, backgrounds,
00:04:18.189 --> 00:04:20.649
and strengths, but people who you think can learn
00:04:20.649 --> 00:04:23.050
from each other. And just start with hosting
00:04:23.050 --> 00:04:26.389
a coffee or asking people go meet up for dinner
00:04:26.389 --> 00:04:29.389
or maybe you do a little panel. But prioritize
00:04:29.389 --> 00:04:32.389
honesty and good energy and having fun and let
00:04:32.389 --> 00:04:34.870
the space grow organically. You don't have to
00:04:34.870 --> 00:04:38.029
have 500 people in a room for your first event.
00:04:38.189 --> 00:04:40.259
That's awesome and it's amazing, but just start
00:04:40.259 --> 00:04:42.319
small, even if it's with three or four people.
00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:44.660
It may grow into something bigger with hundreds
00:04:44.660 --> 00:04:47.040
of women, or maybe it's not. Maybe it's just
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:49.439
building some new circles that will help benefit
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:52.680
those around you. So again, start small, whether
00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:54.720
it's your local business owners and you're trying
00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:57.040
to support each other, or you're at a big organization
00:04:57.040 --> 00:04:59.560
and you just need to have that connection. It
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:02.379
can start very naturally and organically, but
00:05:02.379 --> 00:05:04.220
you're going to have to reach out. If it doesn't
00:05:04.220 --> 00:05:07.500
exist, then take this as your sign to be the
00:05:07.500 --> 00:05:09.800
person who makes the first call. as the first
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:12.759
text. The other thing is there are a lot of organizations
00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:15.240
that already exist. So if starting one is maybe
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:18.660
not up your alley, look for what's in your industry.
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:20.720
It could be within your company. It could be
00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:23.920
within your industry. Volunteering for organizations
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:26.060
is actually a great way to reach people with
00:05:26.060 --> 00:05:28.399
diverse backgrounds. So maybe you can go volunteer
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:30.839
for the Salvation Army or for Girls on the Run
00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:33.540
or whatever organization you're passionate about.
00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:36.139
But that's a great way to meet people with different
00:05:36.139 --> 00:05:39.019
backgrounds that you can feel good about yourself
00:05:39.019 --> 00:05:40.920
and do some volunteering. your work or support
00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:43.860
an organization that's important to you but also
00:05:43.860 --> 00:05:46.670
a really great way to meet other women. And the
00:05:46.670 --> 00:05:50.189
last quick lift action item is elevate, educate,
00:05:50.370 --> 00:05:52.990
empower. And I'm going to add connect to this.
00:05:53.129 --> 00:05:55.250
The teen talked about that being her pillars,
00:05:55.310 --> 00:05:56.850
that that's what they go back to. That's what
00:05:56.850 --> 00:05:58.949
they're trying to fulfill. And those are great
00:05:58.949 --> 00:06:01.930
words. And even if you're not looking to start
00:06:01.930 --> 00:06:04.870
a organization, this is just great as you build
00:06:04.870 --> 00:06:07.230
out your circle. I keep going back to the circles.
00:06:07.290 --> 00:06:09.350
You can see how important I think this is, but
00:06:09.350 --> 00:06:11.329
as we've talked about, you need to have people
00:06:11.329 --> 00:06:13.569
around you who are supporting you, who are cheering
00:06:13.569 --> 00:06:16.879
for you and who are elevating. Educating is just
00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:18.540
maybe learning about something new or different
00:06:18.540 --> 00:06:21.480
or how to handle a situation, empowering each
00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:24.019
other and continuing to connect. So if you are
00:06:24.019 --> 00:06:26.459
looking to launch anything new, just ask yourself,
00:06:26.620 --> 00:06:28.759
does it lift women up? Does it help them grow?
00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:31.199
Does it give them a voice? And keep those pillars
00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:33.459
front and center and your impact will speak for
00:06:33.459 --> 00:06:36.899
itself. no matter how big or how small. So those
00:06:36.899 --> 00:06:39.199
are our quick lifts for today. They're pretty
00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:41.939
easy. They're about leading from where you are
00:06:41.939 --> 00:06:44.959
and whatever time of season and life you're in
00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:47.620
position, you can still be a leader. Continue
00:06:47.620 --> 00:06:49.860
to focus on building a real community, whether
00:06:49.860 --> 00:06:53.160
it's a bigger group or an organization or just
00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:56.759
focusing on your circles and continue to elevate,
00:06:57.040 --> 00:06:59.600
educate, empower, and connect. A lot of great
00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:01.959
advice here for today. And as the team said,
00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:05.100
act first, post later. And remember, we are cheering
00:07:05.100 --> 00:07:05.759
for you.
