Wise words by American novelist, James Lane Allen, and words each of us should reflect on deeply during this COVID-19 pandemic.  Now, more than any other time in our lifetime, we need leadership. We not only need leadership; we need more leaders. We need more people to stand up, speak up, and take action.  This episode of The Future Focused Podcast is a live recording of a Facebook Live presentation I did earlier in the week. I focus on how to lead in a time of crisis. I review the six core elements of leadership as they apply to a crisis. I reflect on the importance of both our circle of focus and mindfulness. I offer my advice on how to lead yourself, your home, your business, and your community.  This recording has already made an impact when it went live. The comments I received immediately told me I needed to share it out in podcast form, so people could listen while they drive, do chores, and workout.  Thank you for taking the time to listen. Thank you for being a leader. I hope you will share this out and reach out to me.  Stay safe and healthy friends.  You are a leader. This is our time. Our best days are ahead of us, not behind us.  Kelly Thank you for listening to this episode of The Future Focused Podcast. Kelly Croy is an author, speaker, and educator. Want to learn more?
