With millions of leadership books out there it can be difficult to find the right definition of what makes a good leader or what leadership even is.

There’s 3 kinds of dreaming… sleep dreaming, daydreaming and conscious (blue-sky) dreaming, but it’s the last one that seems to have gotten lost in the mix and it’s time we bring it back to the fore.

We’re allowed to dream big, make mistakes, be imperfect, and know that’s not only okay, but from a human being perspective, that’s success. So why not dream...
