UNSUNG EXTRAORDINARY HERO - POWERHOUSE WOMAN - A MAJESTIC LIONESS

If one were to ask her what animal she represented, the first instinct for me was a Giraffe;  not because of her beautiful strawberry blonde mane of hair, but because of her veracity to have fun and laugh.  One would not think  now that her greatest challenge was being an introvert, and seemingly from her position of thought, much rather an ambivert.  The mere thought of putting herself out there was in and of itself unheard of.

When she joined the LinkedIn platform, it meant that she had to break through the barriers in order to interact, even comment.  That took patience, diligence, persistence and time.  Diligence and time to some are a reasonable expectation, but for Elaine Jacque, her first comment took months to get to a place of saying a few words.  She can relate to you if you are a newbie to the experience of social media.  Her heart and soul do not let her forget, because she leads with light and care.
 
Knowing her challenges and facing them has placed her in the court of Empathy and Kindness.  Here she gently touches others'  lives as she weaves heartfelt meaningful comments that lift the spirit and celebrate an achievement.
It is not only in the spoken word that Elaine personifies kindness or care for others.  It is in her soft spoken, confident voice that invites you to sit and listen more intently.  You don't need to roar to be heard or your presence known.  Her calm voice, mind and body create a soothing, confident, strong presence that reassures those she works with that she is in their corner.
Elaine's offer of transparency and speaking truth with the highest level of integrity matches up in all that she does.  It is easy to see that because she lives by her word.  Living by her word and works mean everything to Elaine.  Should she offer to connect people together, she follows through  - not tomorrow,  but in the moment that  it is spoken.  In part her legacy, is being built on asking the question: Who are you most likely to want to connect with?  To the answerer, this can be a cumbersome question at first, but for a moment think.

This riveting, authentic question gives way to an opportunity that can create a break through for your life's mission.  In return, Elaine gets the chance to help someone be better than they were and take their infant step to fulfill their passion and dream.  Not only to see a dream evolve into reality, but her greatest inspiration is seeing others post,  their first comments, videos, or articles. They are raw, authentic and a reminder of the path and how far she has come.
If you were to ask Elaine what her life purpose is, she would tell you she would hope that she is making an impact and empowering the lives of others for good through kindness, caring and connecting. 
Every moment she has Elaine, is like that majestic Lioness, soft gentle whisper (purrrrr) that quietly with confidence, walks into a room and has an immediate presence.  Remember that she doesn't need to roar, only speak from the heart and you are found.  Found growing, found learning, found in a sea of opportunity to live the life you love.
 
From the voice of compassion and giving - 
 
Each of us adds our own special hue of
light to our collective kaleidoscope of
beautiful colors – and it is more vivid
because you have added yours.

Unsung Extraordinary Hero - A Journey to Fulfilling a Calling to Be a Voice

In the wake of current life situations with COVID-19 Pandemic the word HERO only synonymous with comic books has become a household word. We are in a time and place where we desperately need the visibility and creation of heros, heroines, people who are heroic.  From a college course book in one of my business classes, the definition in this time and space is certainly appropriate. In the introduction, Jeff Sanderfer said, " heroic people - people who shape events, who act rather than watch, who are creative and brave."(1.) This is a moment to ask yourself the hard questions that often we ignore or pass over.  What is the journey or path to becoming a #HERO.  Is it at the root of what we have done most of our life, or did we receive an experience due to external influences or was there a singular internal event that changes our lives.   Perhaps it is best described as a calling or as I read recently a VOCATION, which in latin VOCARE means "to call." Did yo...

Getting to the Heart of the Matter

Since the beginning of this blog post over 10 weeks ago many discussion have been about the core of entrepreneurship.  Getting to the heart of the matter.  May I remind you as often I have that this journey started with a dream, your dream to create something that you believed in your youth would come true.  Remember those wishes and child like aspirations. It sounded something like this ...  "When I grow up, I am going to be be a Fire fighter, the President, be a toy maker, invent something cool." This weeks insightful blog will explore the dynamics an entrepreneur vs the intrinsic automated bureaucratic tendencies of corporations.  How do these differ?  Based on research it is in the line of thinking.  An entrepreneur when faced with a challenge will immediately think, Where is the opportunity? How do I capitalize on it?  What resources do I need? How do I gain control over them? What structure is best? Inherently the business admi...
