The confident ask questions to learn what will connect. The insecure just keep talking with the hope something will stick.

Leadership isn't answering the questions others ask. Leadership is asking others to answer their own questions.

Don't freak yourself out by what other people have. They don't have what you've got.

The ones who show up to take, they show up and say, "Hi. My name is Steve. I'm an expert in this and I've studied this and I've worked with these clients." On every single power point presentation, it has their email, their Twitter handle and their Facebook account, so you can follow them. At the end, they tell you, "Please follow me." When you ask them a question, they say, "Well, I could tell you the answer, but you should really just read my book."

We become leaders when we accept the responsibility to protect those in our care.

Failure is not tied to money; it is a mindset. Failure is when we accept the lot we are given.

Time and energy. Those are the most valuable sacrifices leaders can make.
