Leadership is neither a rank nor a title. It is a choice. The choice to provide care and protection for those for whom we are responsible.

Outside advice can only tell you how a decision looks. Only you can know how it feels. The best decisions look and feel right.

Never opt for change simply to leave something you don't like. Change works best when you go toward something, even if it is the unknown.

When you show up to speak publically, you have to show up to give. You always know the ones who do and the ones who don't.

The courage of leadership is giving others the chance to succeed even though you bear the responsibility for getting things done.

No matter when or where, always bring your 'A' game, because you never know when it will open doors for you.

Though there are lessons that can be learned about becoming a great leader, most exist inherently in the bellies of those who lead.
