For many many years, I've taught, not only leadership, but I've taught people that they need a personal growth plan. Growth is not an automatic process for you or me or anybody.

What most people really want is to be listened to, respected, and understood.

It takes a team to do anything of lasting value

Nothing is more difficult to accomplish than changing outward actions without changing inward feelings.

A good leader encourages followers to tell him what he needs to know, not what he wants to hear.

When contemplating the pursuit of a dream or the start of a new venture, too many people are hesitant to begin because they can't comprehend the entire journey. If that's where you find yourself right now, don't expect to understand what it takes to get to the top. Just take the next step. There's no shame in starting small; in fact, if you don't start small, you'll probably never start at all.

To achieve your dreams, you must embrace adversity and make failure a regular part of your life. If you're not failing, you're probably not really moving forward.
