Every single organization - or career, for that matter - exists on three levels: WHAT you do, HOW you do it and WHY you do it.

You have to have a patience for college.

A why has to be for others. It's something you give to the world. It's the reason your friends love you because this is the thing that you give them and it fulfills them. This is the reason your clients love you or your fans love you because you give them something. It's something to offer, that's what the why is.

Communication is not about speaking what we think. Communication is about ensuring others hear what we mean.

Employees represent an opportunity to inspire not a burden to carry.

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

Usually what happens is somebody grabs me and they always pull me off to the side. Nobody ever does it publically. They say, "I didn't want to be here." Or, "I don't usually like people like you." Or, "I didn't believe the things you actually talked about would work. I'm here to tell you that you converted me." That happens a lot.
