Have you ever heard of a Lollipop moment? It’s the realization that we ALL have the opportunity to change the world and be leaders every single day. This is something that is hard for most of us to even consider because when most people think of change or leaders, you think it has to come from somewhere grandiose. I’m guilty of thinking this too, and it’s something that I actively work towards changing every single day. Here’s to celebrating more of the Lollipop moments. Feel free to tag someone in the comments who has had an impact in your life.
