Some favourite quotes to start the year

by | Jan 5, 2023 | Open Leadership

Yesterday I shared how music can move and inspire me. As I continue to muse on varying themes at the start of a new year, I was reminded of how words, phrases, and quotes can also move me, so sharing a few favourites. Each is linked to an earlier blog giving more context (and often the full quote or passage), so enjoy diving into those that inspire you to do so:

Waiting until you were ready to emerge.
