I remember the adage “one step forward and two steps back.” The idea represented the challenges of an attempt to move forward in the face of setbacks.

Naeem Callaway reminds us that “sometimes that smallest step in the right direction ends up being the biggest step of your life. Tiptoe if you must, but take a step.”

As we walk through the new year, what steps will we take that may become the biggest steps of our life?

Lead someone, mentor them, give a coworker a nudge to step up or step out in ways that will move them closer to their potential.

The time we take to do so may be the biggest step we take, so take it!
