Dont ever be impressed with goal setting; be impressed with goal getting. Reaching new goals and moving to a higher level of performance always requires change, and change feels awkward. But take comfort in the knowledge that if a change doesn't feel uncomfortable, then it's propably not really a change.

Your success stops where your character stops. You can never rise above the limitations of your character.

While everyone exercises influence, the size and strength of our influence depends upon our effort. No one leads well without paying the price of discipline. As we push ourselves to grow and to learn, we enlarge our sphere of influence.

Be intentional to add value to every person you meet everyday.

We have to pick and choose between good and a little bit better.

Time spent with a potential leader is an investment.

You can't become a leader in one conference.
