🕊️ On #Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom for all. Juneteenth National Independence Day, a federal holiday, remembers the abolition of slavery in Texas on June 19, 1865.
⭐ On this day in 1865, Union Major General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas and delivered the news to Black slaves that President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, declaring all enslaved people in the Confederate states were free.
“Leadership is expertise. It is not rhetoric or cheerleading speeches. People will follow a person who organizes and manages others because he or she has credibility and experience—a knowledge of the profession—and demonstrates an understanding of human experience.”
The Score Takes Care of Itself by Bill Walsh

"Difficult conversations are almost never about getting the facts right.
They are about conflicting perceptions, interpretations, and values.
They are not about what a contract states, they are about what a contract means."
Difficult Conversations: How to Discuss What Matters Most by Douglas Stone, Bruce Patton, Sheila Heen, Roger Fisher
