When in doubt, look for more opportunities than you think you need to set an example. The little things are often the most powerful.

Answer “Who do I want to set an example for? What example do I want to set? What actions can you take to be able to set that example?” They could be as close as your workplace, your next-door neighbor or even your family. Look for opportunities everywhere to set an example. Setting an example is exactly what you should keep in mind.

Whether we realize it or not, we’re setting an example all the time. If you can’t do it right now, block time on your calendar to send support. How will you let them know you’re thinking of them?
