Lead by Example

The best thing you can do for your friends, family, esp kids is to lead by example
most people learn in four ways; auditory, visual, tactile/kinesthetic, global, analytic.

Be careful what you say, what you do, emotions you inflict & how you teach.

We imply that the impressionable years are the first 7, BUT we continue to learn all throughout our lives.  To be a role model you must always be on point.  Be real, but we aware that those around you can & will pick up your habits if they admire who you are or what it is that you do.  

Let's build the next generation of strong empowered young people by being a positive force for them to see, hear, experience & learn from.
