The world is riddled with uncertainty and challenges. We can let the uncertainty crush us or let the uncertainty propel us.

One way to use uncertainty to propel us is to lead with humanity by giving grace, empathy, and understanding to the people around us.

Monica Pool Knox knows how critical leading with humanity is.
