Key Takeaways: People don't always know when they're ready to move up so they need to find a way to discover their true ability and readiness Showing up in leadership means showing up as yourself but also allowing others to show up as themselves. We need to make sure we learn how to not only lead down, but also lead up and lead around. Self awareness is the bridge between showing up and leveling up. Hope is the bridge between leading up and showing up The bridge between leading up and leveling up is mindset. High hope in people has a greater impact towards positive outcomes than low hope has a negative on high hope.
