I am disheartened by the divisiveness in our country.
It’s as if we live in two different worlds. After watching the DNC last week and the RNC this week, it’s never been more clear to me. It’s uncanny to see the juxtaposition between the two messages – one of unification and inclusion and the other of divisiveness and fear.
If you are feeling rage, sadness, or fear, believe me – you are not alone.
So I’ve been asking myself this question:
What am I going to do about it?
I have options, as we all do. I can stand in distraction and paralysis. I can stand in hope. Or, I can put my courage badge on, speak my truth, and stand in action – until the day of the election.
Years ago, I led a business development team that sold technology solutions to new emerging telecommunication providers. It was an entrepreneurial endeavor and we developed relationships with every single potential client. We listened, we built trust, we proposed solutions, we overcame objections. What all experienced sales people do. We moved mountains to win business so no matter the outcome, we wouldn’t look back and say if only we had done xyz to win the business. Then and now, my philosophy is the same – #NoRegrets.
Hope is not a strategy. If we stand for what we believe in, take action and give it our all, we can shape the course of history. We can influence the election based on what we do today, tomorrow and the next day.
If you are ready to get into action and don’t know how, hit reply, I’ve got ideas.
