Great Britain’s economy was in shambles, unemployment was high, and bitter disagreements were choking the effectiveness of the government. In such a situation, how does a leader maintain composure and cast a vision for the country that calms anger, delivers hope, and creates buy-in for the work ahead? This is how Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher did just that in her speech known as “The Lady’s Not For Turning”…In Other Words!

It would be so great if the people of the United States realized that this speech is just as fitting for us as it was for Britain in 1980, but I have read the Bible and I know that most will be out only for their own happiness, well-being and will do as much finger pointing at others instead of realizing that make life better starts with each of us individually. Enjoyed listening to The Lady’s Not Turning speech.
