Joan Trumpauer Mulholland is an amazing woman. Her story was beyond extraordinary. She truly defines what it means to call oneself a leader. The hardships and obstacles that she faced and overcame spoke volumes of what she wants to see in her later years to come. Mulholland embodies what it takes to impact others and change the world. She expressed the importance of going with what you feel even when the ones who are closest to you don't follow. She explained how throughout out her numerous imprisonments she never gave up on her goal because if she did she would not be the same person she is today. Her ideal leadership has altered my leadership skills in which I am learning not to care about what someone else is saying regardless if they favor my opinion or not. It is hard to go with your gut feeling when many do not follow. Now seeing what Mulholland did even when many stood against her shows how much potential I hold if I just let go and say what I truly feel. Her story will forever resonant in my heart because I forever reflect on her courageous endeavors and how she made a difference in society and in my life.
