Sharing Light, Growing Leaders

A text thread this week was buzzing about podcast and webinar setups. Color temperatures, ring light angles, all the glamorous behind-the-scenes details. Then the chat shifted.

Someone dropped a photo of their Monstera plant enjoying some light. Then another shared theirs.

Having visited a locally owned plant store recently, I had learned:
🌿 Their split leaves aren’t just pretty; they’re practical. The mature leaves at the top develop holes and slits that let light filter through.
🌿 That sunlight reaches the younger leaves at the base, giving them the chance to grow strong. Wow!
🌿 In nature, Monsteras often climb toward the canopy, so this ensures the whole plant thrives, not just the tallest leaves.

And that’s the 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 in its purest form:
💡Great leaders don’t crowd the spotlight. They create space.
💡They make sure the next layer of growth has the light it needs to flourish.

Whether it’s new ideas, fresh talent, or emerging leaders:
👉 𝐖𝐡𝐨’𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡?
👉 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫?

Yes, lighting matters for webinars.
But even more, it matters in how we lead.
