Always leave people with a solution; the heaven if you do versus the hell if you don't. If you're really skillful you can put the person into the future solution. Shoaff used to say, 'Jim, I can see you now in your new clothes, in your new home, in your new car. I can see others walking up to you.' The Promise of the Future is an Awesome Force!

If you want things to change, You have to change. If you want things to be better, You have to be better.

The goal of an effective leader is to recondition your team to be solution focused rather than problem focused.

We’ve all got to worry some-but we can’t let it conquer us. Instead, let it alarm us.

Leaders must learn to discipline their disappointments. It's not what happens to us, it is what we choose to do about what happens that makes the difference in how our lives turn out.

Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change.

If you will change everything will change for you. Don’t wait for things to change. Change doesn’t start out there, change starts within....All change starts with you.
