She’s gone. The legendary Queen of daytime TV talk shows said her last farewell in a surprisingly quiet fashion. No guests, no celebrities, no cars for audience members, no gadget giveaways.

But yet, it was an extraordinary performance by an extraordinary woman.
Oprah Winfrey spoke for an hour about lessons she learned from having interviewed over 30,000 people in 25 years. She highlighted the people and stories that touched her the most and was moved to tears several times as she gave heartfelt thanks to her viewers.
Here’s the takeaway for you:
Oprah said that there was one common thread of everyone she interviewed with problems, issues and unhappy lives. Deep down each of them thought they were unworthy. They thought they weren’t good enough, smart enough, pretty enough.
“You are enough because you exist” said the TV icon.
What is keeping you from being, doing, having the life you want? Have you got those pesky voices in your head feeding you negative excuses? Did your parents/peers/spouse say you’ll never get ahead?
From an abused childhood to a global celebrity – take a lesson from Oprah. You ARE enough right now.

There are 350,000 opinions (books) on “leadership” on Amazon. Corporate America can’t seem to draw a consensus on what leadership is so it’s really no big surprise that Corporate America can’t figure out what soft-skills are and why they are important either. You know, for being such a dominating force in the world of business, we really don’t have a clue about the stuff that REALLY makes business run.

Perhaps it’s my age but I find the best part of American Idol are the qualifying rounds to see who gets to go to Hollywood. Out of the tens of thousands of hopefuls only a few hundred are chosen as “good enough” to advance to the next round. It amazes me how many of the ...
