My sixth lesson learned from #dad is the #power of #unconditional #love.

He held nothing back and gave his all to those he knew. Some relationships are #transactional but a dad’s love is #powerful and #evergreen. For me who was raised entirely by her single dad I have not known what it’s like to have a mother, but I never felt the void because my dad’s unconditional love filled my world. His love was in him insisting that I made something of my life. It was in his absolute #belief that I was capable of more. It was in his #aspirations for my #success.

I have witnessed people who have so much abundance but have never experienced unconditional love. Those of us who have need to be extremely #grateful for this #gift and lesson. If I have understood the meaning of love it is because I felt it from my father.  Love is powerful beyond words.

As leaders we have the the opportunity to #empower those around us and outcomes are magnified when done with unconditional love. How often to bring love into our work but why not use this powerful tool when it make an impact.

My dad’s former employees often say what a caring boss he was. One lady now in her 70’s never fails to tell me whenever we speak that my dad treated her like a daughter. Relationships like that are long lasting and beautiful.
