If you're lying, you're lying.

Faith in people is an essential quality of an influencer when working with others, yet it is a scarce commodity today.

In my leadership conferences, pastors ask, "Do you have a vision for my church?" Many times they want me to give them a picture of where they should go and what their church should look like. When these pastors do this, I always feel bad.

Everybody can be somebody when somebody understands and believes in her.

A lot of people believe they are successful because they have everything they want. They have added value to themselves. But I believe significance comes when you add value to others and you can't have true success without significance.

The first order of things to be changed is me, the leader. After I consider how hard it is to change myself, then I will understand the challenge of trying to change others. This is the ultimate test of leadership.

My potential is what God gives me - that's His gift to me - what I give back to Him is what I do with that potential.
