Discipline gives you the freedom to be creative.

Balance suggests a perfect equilibrium. There is no such thing. That is a false expectation.... There are going to be priorities and dimensions of your life, how you integrate them is how you find true happiness.

I do think the position I play is a powerful position.

Don't just let your career happen to you. You need to be strategic about how you define your leadership journey and where that takes you.

I think leadership is service and there is power in that giving: to help people, to inspire and motivate them to reach their fullest potential.

The thing that I learned early on is you really need to set goals in your life, both short-term and long-term, just like you do in business. Having that long-term goal will enable you to have a plan on how to achieve it. We apply these skills in business, yet when it comes to ourselves, we rarely apply them.

If you want a CEO role, you have to prepare for it with a vengeance.
