Leading is not the same as being the leader. Being the leader means you hold the highest rank, either by earning it, good fortune or navigating internal politics. Leading, however, means that others willingly follow you—not because they have to, not because they are paid to, but because they want to.

We are all so preoccupied with ourselves. How can I get happy, how can I find the job I love, how can I become a millionaire, how can lose weight. Yet, the reality is that fulfillment, success and all of these good things comes from trying to help those that we care about to achieve those things.

Leadership is not a rank or a position, it is a choice - a choice to look after the person to the left of us & the person to the right of us.

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.

Directions are instructions given to explain how. Direction is a vision offered to explain why.

Very few people or companies can clearly articulate WHY they do WHAT they do. By WHY I mean your purpose, cause or belief - WHY does your company exist? WHY do you get out of bed every morning? And WHY should anyone care?

My own career is a case study for what I believe in.
