🌟 Reflecting on a transformative weekend at the MPI Tennessee Chapter Mid-Year Board Retreat Placemakr 🌟 Stepping into each board meeting or retreat always brings a mix of excitement and nerves. As someone deeply passionate about MPI, I thrive in these spaces as an idea person. Yet, the shadow of past insecurities sometimes looms large, whispering doubts about my adequacy in fulfilling my role. But amidst the anxiety, I remind myself: I am a volunteer, giving my best. This time was different. As VP of Finance in a pivotal transition year for MPI, including a fiscal year extension and a new prospectus, I found myself at the center stage. I poured my heart into crafting a revamped prospectus, tirelessly seeking ways to better serve our sponsors. Presenting it was nerve-wracking; every question felt like a challenge to defend my hard work. However, amidst the scrutiny, a beautiful realization dawned upon me. Each question, each input, was a testament to the community's care and commitment. We weren't just making decisions; we were engaging in a collective effort to elevate MPI. The aftermath of the presentation held the most precious moment. A call from someone I've clashed with, expressing genuine appreciation for my work, reminded me of the power of connection and understanding. Leadership isn't just about delivering flawless presentations; it's about fostering a community where everyone feels seen and valued. This weekend reaffirmed the essence of MPI: leadership, community, inspiration, networking, and above all, lifting each other up.

"Excited to share insights from my recent presentation at the HBA Ambassador cohort Short Talk, where I explored 'The Art of Magical Thinking' through the lens of 'The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People' by Stephen Covey. 🌟 🚀 Here's a glimpse into the leadership principles discussed: Proactive Mindset: Leaders, let's take the reins! A proactive approach involves seizing opportunities and anticipating challenges before they arise. It's about leading with initiative and foresight. Time Management Matrix: Effective leadership is not just about being busy; it's about focusing on what truly matters. Prioritizing tasks based on importance rather than urgency ensures our efforts align with strategic goals. Synergize for Win-Win: Collaboration is the heartbeat of success. As leaders, recognizing the value of collaboration and seeking mutually beneficial outcomes is key to fostering a culture of synergy and collective achievement. Grateful for the opportunity to share and learn from the incredible HBA community. Thank you, LeAnna J. Carey for the chance to contribute to the conversation! 🙌 #Leadership #EffectiveLeadership #ProfessionalDevelopment #HBA #SevenHabits"
