A DECADE+ OF STORYTELLING POWERED BY THE BEST WRITERS ON THE PLANET

WE DON'T DO IT ALL, BUT WE DO IT ALL "FOR GOOD"

BE PART OF THE LEGACY

TAMPA BAY • FEBRUARY 23-24 2026

This FINAL encore experience will be unlike any other. Because like everything we do, it's been "reimagined" from beginning to end. It's not a virtual or hybrid event. It's not a conference. It's not a seminar, a workshop, a meeting, or a symposium. And it's not your typical run-of-the-mill everyday event crammed with stages, keynote speeches, team-building exercises, PowerPoint presentations, and all the other conventional humdrum. Because it's up close & personal by design. Where conversation trumps presentation. And where authentic connection runs deep.

All Things Bright and Beautiful …

In case you think this an invitation to start singing or heading down the kum bay yah path, worry not. I do however invite you to reflect on the last time you entered your place of work full of the joy of ‘Life’.

Life is certainly a tough experience for most of us, admittedly to varying degrees, and yet within any 24 hour period, there are countless heart-opening moments to be had. A beautiful sunrise, an amazing tree, a child giggling their socks off, a bird in a nest with their babies…the list is endless. Our challenge is always to remember to look, and see, and connect through our heart.

Accessing the full spectrum of the human experience includes opening to our heart which is life-giving in a deep and joyful way.

It opens us to the power within us which is warming and magnetic. It connects us to a resource which is both uplifting and transformational – for us and others.

As great leaders, we seek to inspire and uplift…to connect others with their own power and potential. This is a heart-based impulse and to be truly powerful we need to take care of our own heart connection each and every day. So whilst you may not feel inclined to sing ‘all things bright and beautiful’ why not choose to look daily for those moments which have the power to open our heart and consciously bring the qualities of those moments into your leadership and daily life no matter how challenging it is.

Life is a beautifully rich and uplifting experience…let’s constantly remind ourselves of that as we seek to bring transformation to our world.

12 CONVERSATIONS

  1. Rushed this morning, and feeling the pulse of anxiety welling up in my chest, I felt like I was a few seconds away from a meltdown. Fortunately, I took a few breaths and made my way out the door. And along the way, I found the bright and beautiful in the morning. Thanks for this reminder, Lorraine. It’s essential to keep it real and to reel it back in, especially when we impede our vision.

  2. Lorraine, I have a friend who says she can find the silver lining in a septic tank. I suspect you have the same gift of insight and positive thinking.

    Thank you for sharing this reminder that we all have enough good in us to find the good in others.

  3. Lorraine – Great reminder that we can find so many moments of joy and wonder in the beauty of the creation that surrounds us – and it is in the little things like you mentioned that catch us by surprise and make us feel alive. Thanks for sharing.

  4. Lorraine, life is full of moments that we treasure. Realizing you woke up and realized your life was renewed is a gift. Nature is a gift so many take for granted. When it comes to work it is not necessary or common to arrive full of joy life. We work to have money to live. It is certainly better to work at something you enjoy doing but unfortunately, that is not always possible. You are being paid a salary and in exchange for that, you are obligated to do as your job description mandates. Having worked in insurance, mortgages, recruiting and merchant cash advance nobody held the title of leader. When I visit clients there is nobody that holds the title of leader. The leader is THE BOSS or your supervisor. Nobody gets paid to be a “leader.” With all due respect, this title is overused. Thank you for writing and sharing your article.
