A potential leaderhttps://www.google.com/adsense/new/u/0/pub-3691500166505297/privacymessaging

Are you a leader or a follower?

The last time I answered this blog topic, I answered that potentially I was a leader, particularly in my career in mental health. I was a role model.

If I am a leader it is because of the guidance of some fantastic people who saw my potential and nurtured that in me. Probably the first person to notice my potential and the most influential on my journey would have to be Mr Guppy.   If he hadn’t nurtured me and made arrangements for me to attend Strathmore Secondary College I wouldn’t be here today. He was absolutely remarkable and the earth is a little darker and colder without his guiding light.

There were many people at university whom I associated with that nurtured my potential and shared like minds. Pam Macintyre, who lectured in children’s literature, definitely impacted on my desire to be an author, and two fellow students, Tammy Walsh and Gabby Harrison, were kindred spirits.

Susanna encouraged my writing ✍️ skills  as does my wonderful psychiatrist.  In fact I would have to confess without the presence of my psychiatrist I would not be writing this blog.  Just like Susanna my psychiatrist goes about his work quietly and is very humble.

In my career in mental health I received gentle guidance and TLC from Michael Fleming.  Again the world 🌎 is a darker colder place without Michael’s gentle and creative presence.

So yes, I am a leader,  but I became so through following the guidance of some particularly wonderful people. God has plans for us all, and the people he brings into our orbit are not by accident.
