There’s always a choice about what self you’ll be – in every precious, present moment.

Your best self is an ethical self that chooses the right thing because it’s the right thing.

Your best self is a courageous self.  Courage, especially for those “everyday leaders” who appear to be followers, who have titles like assistant or deputy, receptionist or associate, teenager or middle child, or first man, which always means second person :).

There’s a lot of titles for a lot of everyday leaders.  Our best self steps up through these roles, when we’re not paid to, not expected to, or in some cases not welcome to speak, to act, or to lead.

Conversely, for authorized leaders leading with your best self sometimes means doing the right and courageous thing by admitting you don’t know, asking for help, or giving away your power.

Maybe what’s most true of “leading with your best self” is that it’s yourauthentic best self.
