      INTRODUCTION

      A Message to the Leaders of the Future

      Are you a Newcomer to leadership? Do you dream about making a difference? In your community? Your workplace? In the Global Village?

      These stories are for the new, passionate leader who is determined to impact the future. My storytelling blends family, history, humor, and training into a can’t-put-it-down Guide. Use the stories to chart your course to global leadership. They inspired me to explore the possibilities, articulate the what ifs, and create new paths to inspire others. Now it’s your turn to map the journey to leadership that is uniquely yours.

      We begin the journey to Global Leadership with awareness. The stories and heroes that surround us every day guide us by example. The key to your transformation into a Global Leader is as close as your personal history and that of the people close to you.

      Each chapter in Inspire Your Inner Global Leader is a true story designed to light your path from Newcomer to Expert, from Dreamer to Future Leader. The CULTURE TIPS are road signs guiding your steps and the NEWCOMER COMMENTS keep you company along the way. The BLOG FOOD questions give you energy for the trip.

      Good luck on your journey! Your Global Leadership path starts here.

Malloy Realty—and his name was often in the local newspaper. The initials M.M.M. appeared in gold letters on his car door. I was known as The Malloy Granddaughter which I accepted, but reluctantly, since Malloy was NOT my name.

The sprawling split-level home was unique on an island that was only 24 square miles, and had few stairs to aggravate his heart condition. There was a huge picture window, overlooking the harbor, a hazard in hurricane-prone Bermuda, but with a spectacular view. The terrace was tiled with brick and set among award-winning gardens flanked by banana trees. Gramp included a built-in fireplace; built-in love seat beneath the windows, built-in barbecue pit on the terrace, built-in cedar desk and a built-in limestone dock in the shape of a ship.

      Gramp and Highwinds went together like bread and butter, but he did not rule the house. There wasn’t a piece of furniture, a color scheme, a spoon or a flower that wasn’t chosen by my grandmother, Ida. The grandchildren called her Banner, a
