WELCOME TO THE INAUGURAL
EDITION OF LEAD MAGAZINE
LEAD is all about ‘when making a difference is as
important as making a profit.’ It’s been a dream of mine
and the team at Rock Your Life & Infinite Publishing to
have our own magazine for many years.
LEAD is not about us. It’s about you… the leaders, in
your community, industry, country and the difference
that you make every single day.
We love and are committed to the concept of conscious
leadership. This is not about spirituality, as your religious
or spiritual beliefs are your own. It’s about the need for
everyone in a Leadership Role, and that is most people on
the planet as parents, coaches, teachers, businesspeople
or en-trepreneurs, to understand that we each leave a
massive footprint during our lives and because of things
such as the ‘Butterfly’ effect that footprint may be good,
bad and in some cases even dread-ful.
Consider the teen who just wants to be rich, ends up
a banker and has to make decisions about people’s
lives and businesses. It’s not what they may have ever
considered, but it becomes their reality. We are all able
of response… responsible.. but are we informed, are we
conscious, do we consider the impact of what we are
doing on a daily basis.
Along with Evans Manyonga our publication consultant
and the team we had many stories to choose from for this
first edition.
In doing so we simply all agreed on Maya Shahani for
the cover. Mike met Maya in 2006, a real life slum dog
millionaire whose journey and realisation about what
she could do for the planet is an inspiration to all of us.
We long ago lost count of her awards, the sheer number
of schools, hospitals, charities she is involved in, but we
will never forget her interaction with President Clinton
upon her being invited to join the Clinton Global Initiative
in 2008. Maya is a brilliant and appropriate cover girl for
what we stand for.
Please share the magazine with friends and associates.
This is one way of helping people stay on track and
making our world a better place now and in the future.
