It gets scanned by the ATS too, and it’s a chance to say what your resume can’t.
Use it to highlight the story behind your skills.

Leadership isn’t about certainty, it’s about stepping into hard decisions, tough conversations, and unfamiliar territory.
The best leaders do what others avoid.
They push past imposter syndrome, embrace discomfort, and grow through it.

Most new leaders step into executive roles without ever being taught how to lead.
You were promoted because you were great at something.
But leading isn’t just about doing.
It’s about teaching, guiding, and influencing.

I personally will continue to use "Gulf of Mexico" because our president is a wrathful felonious nincompoop with the intellect of paramecium and I do not consent to his cartographic buffoonery
Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons:
-We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S.
-The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous.

Is AI going to take over our jobs?
No, it’s taking over the repetitive, time-consuming tasks no one wants to do.
AI won’t replace human connection, problem-solving, or creativity.
It’s here to free up time for what truly matters.

Great leadership means recognizing potential in others and helping them realize it.
Reflect on what you needed as an employee and offer that to your team.
Leadership isn’t just about being great, it’s about empowering others to be great too.
