Time is more valuable than money, because time is irreplaceable.

People can open doors for you, but you ... must walk through.

Disappointment is the gap that exists between expectation and reality.

Relationships are the foundation of leadership.

Your talk talks and your walk talks, but your walk talks louder than your talk talks.

Integrity is the factor that determines which one will prevail. We struggle daily with situations that demand decisions between what we want to do and what we ought to do. Integrity establishes the ground rules for resolving these tensions. it determines who we are and how we will respond before the conflict even appears. Integrity welds what we say, think, and do, into a whole person so that permission is never granted for one of these to be out of sync.

I am convinced more than ever that good communication and leadership are all about connecting. If you can connect with others at every level -one-on-one, in groups, and with an audience-your relationships are stronger, your sense of community improves, your ability to create teamwork increases, your influence increases, and your productivity skyrockets.
