Leadership lessons should start young. Those who grow-up playfully imagining power and success will more likely grow into the possibilities their imaginations created. And that's true whether one plays at being an astronaut or a Barbie. So, with Halloween around the corner, doesn't it make sense to encourage daughters to develop their leadership potential? Another princess? A delinquent she-devil? A mini-skirted fire chief? There are options, good ones.

    Consider prepping your daughter for creativity, power, and success at Halloween. To celebrate her daughter's 5th birthday, Texas photographer Jaime Moore dressed her as Susan B. Anthony, Amelia Earhart, Coco Chanel, Jane Goodall, Helen Keller, and a future presidential candidate for a photo shoot called "Not just a girl." Now that's empowering!

    Of course, fun comes first, and accessorizing a fun costume with some leadership potential might seem too daunting a sartorial challenge. However, there are lots of looks that provide reflective space for a young girl to imagine a successful tomorrow while having fun today. You can always go generic such as astronauts, doctors, etc. No specific person named. So have fun with a judge's robe, a scientists bench coat, a police uniform, or even do up a computer nerd outfit. Your daughter just may start thinking she can be such person.
