Henry Ford rightly said “If you think you can, you are right and if you think you can’t, even thenyouareright Iwouldliketoaddfewmore words to this statement “the Choice is Yours”. As leaders, we always have taken the first part of the quote and we think we can and surely, wemakethingshappen.

Leaving a Legacy in leadership is vital part of our leadership journey. Now as we have completed the first half of the term 2022-23, it is time to review upon our individual and Club/Area/Division & District Goals. Refocus and strategize your action plans on the outcomes of the review. The opportunity still lies in our hands to leave a legacy of your leadership position. Let us make it happen. By leaving a legacy, we learn and experience new leadership skills which gives the real meaning for the leadership role we are playing and will promptustotakemuchbetterrolesincoming days.
