“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” – Maya Angelou

When a new year begins, it’s natural to make plans, set goals, and revisit our dreams. But before diving into strategy, it’s always worth asking: What story am I living? What story am I telling? As leaders, the most powerful tool we possess isn’t our position or our skill—it’s our story.

Recently, I was invited by a group of young adults to share my story. As I spoke—simply recounting moments from my upbringing and lessons from my life—I was deeply humbled by their response. What surprised me most was how things I had always considered ordinary became sources of inspiration and encouragement for them. It reminded me that our stories, no matter how simple they may seem to us, carry power when shared with authenticity.

Every great movement, every act of courage, and every legacy worth remembering begins with a compelling narrative. Your story as a leader—how you started, what shaped you, the lessons you’ve learned—has the potential to inspire, to teach, and to lead others into transformation.

Stories connect people. They humanize our leadership. They give context to our values and clarify the why behind what we do. In a world saturated with noise and competition, people don’t just follow vision statements—they follow stories that feel real, personal, and hopeful.

This year, I challenge you to revisit your story. What moments marked a turning point in your leadership journey? What challenges refined your character? What victories brought you joy? These aren’t just memories—they’re leadership tools.

Start this year by embracing your story, refining how you tell it, and using it to connect with those you serve. Whether through writing, speaking, mentoring, or simply living authentically, let your story be the light someone else needs to find their path.

Your story matters. Lead with it.
