Lean in

Lean In

‘Lean in’ was coined by Sheryl Sandberg in 2013 to describe strategies for women to accelerate their careers by taking advantage of opportunities. I describe it as initiative, gumption, get up and go.  Nike, ‘Just do it’.   What we need to do is always lean into the future; when the world changes around you and when it changes against you - what used to be a tail wind is now a head wind - you have to lean into that and figure out what to do because complaining isn't a strategy. Jeff Bezos. I leave you with a poem by Dawna Markova, I will not lead a life unlived

I will not die an unlived life
I will not live in fear
of falling or catching fire.
I choose to inhabit my days,
to allow my living to open me,
to make me less afraid,
more accessible,
to loosen my heart
until it becomes a wing,
a torch, a promise.
I choose to risk my significance;
to live so that which came to me as seed
goes to the next as blossom
and that which came to me as blossom,
goes on as fruit.
