The Ultimate Test of a True Leader

BY DAVID T. FAGAN

Not all leaders are created equal. Many so-called leaders are actually managers, and although leaders can be managers, not all managers can be leaders.

A leader that needs a title to lead isn’t much of a leader at all, so the ultimate test of a leader is whether or not they can lead volunteers.

There comes a time in everyone’s life when they take a step back and begin to look at the bigger picture, the greater meaning, and the impact they are here to make. It wasn’t that long ago when Lady JB Owen, author, speaker, publisher, humanitarian, business owner, and mom of four, stopped to reassess how she could make a more significant impact in the world and, in turn, Ignite Humanity™.

Shamans facilitate transformation and create harmony within themselves and, therefore, their tribes.

Their work is to tap into higher states of consciousness and stand as a bridge, or medium, between the spiritual and threedimensional world, allowing access to information that can help individuals step into their sovereignty. Much of the growth that comes from either working with a shaman or implementing their techniques far exceeds what modern medicine and current human knowledge can explain.

The path to this kind of Spirit-led leadership is not necessarily an easy or accessible one. To become a shaman, you need to be initiated and surrender your life to the Divine completely. However, one of the many lessons we can all take from their lifestyle is to come into ‘the television shows as the set supervisor in the costume and wardrobe department.

Always passionate about designing and creating, JB expanded into jewelry making, sculpting, decorating, painting, printing, and writing. Her astute business sense had her constantly forming businesses and living the life of a serial entrepreneur.

As she entered her forties, her companies spanned the globe, and her products were sold around the world. She admits she started her first little business when she was nine, selling macrame necklaces for $2.00 outside the town’s local pub. She shares, “I loved making something with my hands and using my imagination to create a product that people wanted to buy.
