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.

Vision is a picture of a desired future; a picture of something that I don't possess right now, but it is something I want to see and experience, and something I want the people I am leading to experience.

I think passion gives you the energy to do what is right, and discipline makes sure you do what is right. So I look at them as kind of cousins maybe.

Sometimes the best way to learn is to return to the fundamentals.

People change when they hurt enough that they have to change, learn enough that they want to change, receive enough that they are able to change.

To connect with people, be yourself, at your best.

Everyone is a leader because everyone influences someone.
