It's Simple

Our themes at Leadercast throughout the years have changed.  This one has stuck!
Leadership is about the ability to cut through the clutter - our world it too complex not to.
As leaders we need to focus,
we need to help our teams focus,
we need to make time to connect,
we need to be present,
we need to listen with our ears & our hearts
we need to respond,
we need to act.

Be a leader worth following - join the group already attending Leadercast 2014.

The First Lady 2001-2009 Laura Bush at Leadercast 2014

Laura Bush
First Lady of the United States (2001-2009) Via Exclusive Video Interview

One of the most beloved and admired American First Ladies, for decades Laura Bush has championed key issues in the fields of education, health care, and human rights. She has traveled to more than seventy-six countries, including two historic solo trips to Afghanistan, and has launched groundbreaking education and healthcare programs in the U.S. and abroad. The author of the bestselling memoir, Spoken From the Heart, Mrs. Bush also founded both the Texas Book Festival and the National Book Festival in Washington D.C. Today, as the Chair of the Woman’s Initiative at the George W. Bush Institute, Mrs. Bush continues her work on global healthcare innovations, empowering women in emerging democracies, education reform, and supporting the men and women who have served in America’s military.

Born in Midland, Texas to Jenna and Harold Welch, Laura Bush holds a degree in education and a master’s degree in library science. She taught in public schools in Dallas, Houston, and Austin, and worked as a public school librarian. She was jokingly dubbed “the old maid of Midland” before her 1977 marriage to George W. Bush, “Midland’s most eligible bachelor.” The Bushes are the parents of twin daughters, Barbara and Jenna. 

I am sure there is a great story here, as Mrs. Bush has been able to focus on her passion for books and reading to help change the world for the better.
