A moment from Edith Hudson’s “Leading with Grace” presentation. 💚

Through her words and experience, Edith reminds us that leadership is not only about how we lead but how we show up for the people around us.

Leading with grace means making room for empathy, understanding, and humanity, even in challenging moments. 🌱

Thank you, Edith, for sharing your perspective and inspiring us to reflect on the kind of leaders we want to be.

What does leading with grace mean to you? 💭

Servant leadership isn't simply about the values we believe in. It's about what we do with them. 🌱

One of the Wisconsin nonprofits featured in our latest article, Couleecap, captures this idea through a simple philosophy: values become meaningful when they're put into action.

That can mean showing up for a community, sharing our time, mentoring someone, or using our experience where it's needed.

What does servant leadership look like when it's put into practice? 🌱

Across Wisconsin, nonprofit organizations are answering that question through the work they do every day.

From supporting people and strengthening communities to creating opportunities for growth, their work shows how servant leadership principles can move beyond ideas and into action. 🤝

Our latest article highlights Wisconsin nonprofits demonstrating servant leadership in different ways and the lessons their work can offer all of us as leaders.

Leadership isn't limited to the hours we spend at work.

Chris Laurent's story shows how servant leadership can extend into nonprofit involvement, board service, and the wider community.

It's a reminder that we don't need to separate “being a leader” from “being of service.”

The way we use our time, experience, and influence outside of our job can make an impact, too. 🤝

How do you practice leadership outside of work?

Listening is often described as an essential leadership skill.

But being heard is about more than someone staying quiet while we talk. 👂

It can mean feeling understood, respected, and knowing that what we've shared has been considered.

So, we're curious: What makes you feel truly heard by a leader?
Please share your thoughts in the comments we'd love to hear from you. 💬
