Healthy leaders empower
without being over-powering - sometimes leading from the trenches alongside the team, and other times leading from the sideline.
Healthy leaders are selfless
without out being selfish nor self-sacrificing, demonstrating balance and rhythm in their command.
Healthy leaders foster accountability without fear, giving people the space to succeed and make mistakes as a part of the growth process.
A Distant Path to Forgiveness
TEDx Charlotte

Offended For Life?
Consider a "Distant" Path to Forgiveness
Could you forgive and forget the offense of 100 broken promises? Could you forgive and forget if a spouse cheated on you repeatedly? Could you forgive and forget if a loved one lied to you repeatedly or stole from you repeatedly? How do you forgive something you'll NEVER forget? Does this mean you will feel offended for the rest of your life?
Get the answer to all these questions and more in Dr. Melissa's newest publication.
