Leaders who want to achieve the extraordinary do things out of the ordinary. It requires taking risks and following your instincts.
Gayle Lantz shares leadership lessons inspired by her son’s recent experience running the Rome Marathon. It was a completely new experience based on his impulse to explore somewhere amazing he had never been with people he had never met.
Sometimes you’ve got to stop pushing so hard and simply open up to new experiences. Let everyone you meet be a teacher.
When you feel stuck or bottlenecked, decide if you want to push forward or find a new path.

In your “Now what?” moments, find the clarity and determination to move toward what feels right to you.
