"We need to stop mistaking power for brilliance.

If what you are hearing feels wrong, trust yourself. Don’t get gaslit into thinking you’re just not smart enough to get it. You do get it.

They’re not smarter. They are just too privileged or narcissistic to care about the consequences of their own decisions. Or about you.

Power is not intelligence. And leadership without wisdom and compassion isn’t #leadership. It’s dangerous." —Arlene Dickinson on LinkedIn

That felt like the one big thing I needed to have to somehow validate my intelligence to others. I admit that I deferred to people simply because they had letters behind their names. In my mind, that automatically elevated them far above me. I have worked hard, built businesses, and eventually made a seat for myself at the so-called big boys’ tables. And honestly, once I got there, I was surprised. Not by how smart and educated everyone was, but by how much common sense and empathy was missing. I’ve come to realize I’m not stupid. I never was. I had just allowed myself to feel dumber because my life’s education happened differently than theirs and was not earned in universities. The only people I truly admire now are the ones whose EQ matches their IQ. The ones who lead with both intelligence and empathy. Some of the most “educated” people I’ve worked with have made the most damaging, disconnected decisions imaginable and called it leadership. They have no EQ. We are watching it play out clearly right now in the U.S. They make decisions that serve only themselves, while the rest of the world pays the price. We need to stop mistaking power for brilliance.

@fsinn I think this policy would help most ridings. I have never seen more NDP supporters ready to vote Liberal, simply to affirm Canadian nationhood vs PP & maple maga. The best domestic policies don't mean a thing next to the threat of invasion. #cdnpoli #leadership
