My Great Aunt EDNA: The Golden Girl of Leadership

My Great Aunt EDNA Leadership Podcast - JAY HAIGLER - DIVING WITH A PURPOSE

For those who know me personally, you know I am a private pilot. I fly. I like heights and the beauty of the earth from the viewpoint of the sky. It is a majestic feeling to soar, have control of your aircraft, and view the heavens and the earth simultaneously. I have met a brother who does the opposite. He dives; very deep. He dives in oceans and views the majesty of the earth from under deep waters, and has explained to me a similar feeling of euphoria. He is also a leader in his field, which is why My Great Aunt EDNA had to speak with him. Meet Jay Haigler, the scientific scuba diver and leader of an organization known as Diving With a Purpose. Shout out to our brother Dell Warren for making the connection.

My Great Aunt EDNA Leadership Podcast - GRACE YUNG FOSTER - BORN AN ADOPTEE OUTSIDER, LIVING AS A LEADER

Is there a line in heaven for those who choose to be born an orphan? I am assuming that line would not exist, even if there were a desk for this category (I am picturing the Division of Motor Vehicles in my mind). As Grace Yung Foster told me during our leadership discussion pertaining to her lived experience of being an adoptee, then abandoned after adoption, resulting in the rest of her childhood being in foster care, being born an orphan means that you are literally born an outsider belonging nowhere. But Grace has overcome the beginning of her existence to become a leader in working with adoptees, foster children, and organizations to better maximize the full human potential. #mygreatauntedna #auntedna #leadership #leadershipdevelopment #leadership #excellence #dointthingstherightway #noshortcuts #accountability #author #books #books #podcast #macmcneil #youtube #youtubevideo #My_Great_Aunt_EDNA #MacMcNeil #leadership help #leadership_helping_others_to_succeed_quotes
