If you are old enough, you probably remember receiving your first AARP application.

Perhaps you threw it away, denying the reality of aging. Maybe you were excited to receive the benefits associated with an older lifestyle.

While AARP stands for American Association of Retired Persons, if you are like me, you may not feel quite there at any age. Consider a leadership angle.

Accomplish: Leaders make things happen.

Attitude: Leaders set the tone for everyone.

Respect: Respect is earned and given. To receive it, be willing to give it.

Presence: Show up! Presence provides security and direction.
