In this inspiring episode of "Roses of Renewal," I'm joined by the incredible Eunice Zeigler, a leader in civic engagement and a true community advocate.

Eunice shares her journey into leadership, driven by resilience and a passion for service rooted in her early experiences and personal challenges. From her impactful work as Methuen's city councilwoman to her current role on the Governor's Council, Eunice emphasizes the importance of transparency and listening in leadership.

Her story is a testament to pushing past fear and embracing opportunities to serve the community authentically. Our conversation touched on the importance of community involvement, the power of vulnerability, and the journey of personal growth.

Here are three key takeaways from our discussion:

1. Vulnerability as Strength: Embracing vulnerability allows leaders to connect with others on a deeper level, breaking down perceived barriers and fostering authentic relationships.

2. Resilience through Setbacks: As leaders and individuals, encountering setbacks is part of the growth process. These challenges shape us and teach valuable lessons that propel us forward.

3. Community Impact: Each of us has unique gifts and talents. By stepping up and sharing these with our communities, we contribute to their growth and healing, creating a ripple effect of positive change.
