5/24/2023 0 Comments Killing Me Softly by Nicci French![]() It wasn’t until a year or so later that I got around to reading Killing Me Softly, shortly after which I began working my way through Nicci French’s entire published collection – a feat I still continue with today. The title of Killing Me Softly captured my imagination and the gothic front cover had me hook, line and sinker. I briefly rummaged through the stalls of Victorian clothing and admired the array of art deco pieces available to buy before finding myself in a cubby hole of dog eared books the type of place that I could happily spend an entire afternoon.

Yet these same plot points and figures also fill the pages of writings by black women-women whose subjugation and abuse Jane Eyre both decries and metaphorizes to serve its own ends. Madwomen, long-lost relatives, lonely orphans cruelly treated, and a woman's voice speaking out with poise and power from the margins of society. Secret marriages and women hidden away in attics, portentous storms and mysterious mansions, the haunting sounds of unhinged laughter and the ominous creakings of a tree. ![]() 5/24/2023 0 Comments Henry cloud integrity book summary![]() ![]() Alternatively, you could step up and into your own value, accept and embrace the reality that your leadership role is a privilege and not just a position. ![]() You could for example choose to view and treat leadership as a position or role. ![]() Either way, once you take on the position of leadership, in whatever circumstance, you need to carefully choose how you frame or view what leadership means to you. For others, their leadership role has been cast upon them. Some leaders actively and determinedly seek out their leadership role in their professional or personal life. This article written by David Penglase, explains 3 core principles of aspirational leadership. Leaders with aspirational character are inspiring not only because of what they do, but because of why and how they do it. History is stained with the disastrous impact of unethical, immoral or illegal actions by some arguably inspirational leaders who lack aspirational character. ![]() ![]() ![]() Nationalism is a theory of political legitimacy, which requires that ethnic boundaries should not cut across political ones, and, in particular, that ethnic boundaries with a given state should not separate the power-holders from the rest.
