“We are all role models. Our only choice is to be a good or bad one.”

— Cathy Burnham Martin – American author, voiceover artist & dedicated foodie

 

That is a theme that I’ve used for dozens of presentations to young people for a great many years on the business and public speaking circuits. So often we humans get thinking that only movie stars, politicians, and professional athletes should be held to a higher standard. (Oh, yeah… some celebs forget to think about that little detail.) I simply believe that we all must hold ourselves to a higher standard, for the sake of our souls and the world around us, and because someone impressionable and vulnerable is watching, even if we don’t think we are worthy of such influence.
