Social Media May Be Weighing You Down As I was sitting with a good friend of mine, Jeff of The Lounging Space, discussing life, love, and faith, we began to talk about baggage.

Whether your definition of accomplishment revolves around money, power or making a difference to the world doesn’t matter. You should always strive to reach those goals.

I Tweeted recently, “You can have change without leadership, but I’m not sure you can have leadership without change.” Change is all around us. But, as leaders, we are called to be agents of change.
