Andrea! I was thinking of you the other day and how through your email course nearly 20 years ago, you showed me a simple and powerful way I could show up as a teacher. I modeled a short free email course off of your example. So thank you.

As for thought leaders, we will always need them. Humans have such different perspective one from the other. And so we’ll always need to learn from each other — especially if we want to survive and thrive as a species.

How incredible, Beth, to hear of your email course! I love that model. You are so welcome, it's wonderful to read your comment, even more so knowing we've known each other this long!

I like your emphasis on the differences in perspective. There is something worth digging into more!

Andrea, I really appreciate your thoughts here and for remodeling your article for this age of pervasive AI influence! You're absolutely correct in our need for thought leaders. Thanks for sharing! (I too have been following/participating in your work for 20 years!)

Wow how wonderful to reconnect here, Michelle. This is very special to be looking at 20 years of relating together. Thankfully, leading with ideas is something I don't get tired of, it still seems like magic to me :-) I hope you are keeping very well and thank you for the note!

Great writing. You are right. We do need to be thought leaders.

We must add value to the crowded conversations.

And the way each of us lives into being a thought leader is different, isn't it, Virginia? I like the idea of doubling down on what we find inspiring and increasing the odds of creating memorable messages.

Thank you for your comment - it is so lovely to read you here.
