There is no such thing as a self-made leader. Every leader is shaped by people who invested time, truth, patience, and belief along the way. Someone corrected you when you were off track. Someone trusted you before you were ready. Someone modeled what leadership should and should not look like. This picture captures that reality for me. At the very beginning of my leadership coaching journey, Alison Minato believed in me and invested in me in a tangible way. She became my very first paid coaching client. That decision didn’t just affirm my calling, it opened doors I could not have opened on my own. Through her trust, I was introduced to new opportunities, meaningful relationships, and a business center that remains a close and cherished client to this day. Many of the people I met through that connection are no longer just clients, they are friends. Our growth as leaders is the result of conversations, mentors, teammates, critics, coaches, and leaders who poured into us, often without recognition. Strong leadership begins with humility. Grateful leaders lead better. And the best leaders never forget who helped shape them. 👇 CTA for the Community Who is one person who believed in you or invested in your leadership early on?
