However difficult, however scary, I had to live my truth. I chose to be more brave than I was afraid and am loving my life as a result.

Wherever we are, we can improve our chances of getting ahead by keeping a book in hand

Things don't happen to us. They happen for us.

People don't want to commit until they have clarity, but clarity comes with movement.

Leaders have the privilege and responsibility of going first. The most powerful way that anybody can lead is by example.

Sadly, I have met very few people who have a plan for their life. Most are passive spectators, watching their lives unfold, one day at a time. They are reactive rather than proactive. They may plan their careers, the building of a new home, or even a vacation. But it never occurs to them to plan their life.

Leadership is not about experience, education or talent. It's about choosing to lead.
