Leadership isn’t always about having the title. Throughout my career in education, I’ve often found myself in leadership roles—guiding teams, supporting staff, and making critical decisions—but without the formal authority to make the final call. Sound familiar? That experience shaped my perspective: You don’t have to be “in charge” to lead. Influence, integrity, and relationships matter just as much—if not more—than positional power. That’s why I’m launching a new series: Leading When You’re Not in Charge. I’ll be sharing real strategies, lessons learned, and reflections on how to lead from wherever you are—whether you’re managing up, supporting peers, or simply trying to move the work forward with purpose. I hope you’ll follow along and join the conversation. Let’s grow together. #LeadershipDevelopment #LeadFromWhereYouAre #EducationalLeadership #EmpoweredLeadership #ThankU4AttendingMyTiffanyTalk😆

Down syndrome occurs when an individual has an extra partial (or whole) copy of chromosome 21. It is not yet know why this syndrome occurs, but Down syndrome has always been a part of the human condition. It exists in all regions across the globe and commonly results in variable effects on learning styles, physical characteristics and health. Adequate access to health care, to early intervention programmes, and to inclusive education, as well as appropriate research, are vital to the growth and development of the individual. In December 2011, the General Assembly declared 21 March as World Down Syndrome Day (A/RES/66/149). The General Assembly decided, with effect from 2012, to observe World Down Syndrome Day on 21 March each year. In order to raise public awareness of Down syndrome, the General Assembly invites all Member States, relevant organizations of the United Nations system and other international organizations, as well as civil society, including non-governmental organizations and the private sector, to observe World Down Syndrome Day in an appropriate manner.
