“In my mind, there’s nothing more powerful than a leader who truly believes in their team and in their ability to do something amazing - even beyond what they’re there to do on paper.”

“I define empathy as the ability to put yourself in somebody else’s shoes and to understand and connect with what they are feeling - to feel what they’re feeling. You first have to understand the world as they see it through their eyes.”

Good listeners listen to what people say, and great listeners notice what people donâ€™t say. When you know the neuroscience of listening, you realize that people can think up to nine times faster than they can speak.

â€œThereâ€™s a time to lead from the front, and a time to lead from behind, and a time to lead by the side. And, I found that was a bit of a different model for me. I wanted to always lead from the front.â€

â€œReally going into purpose work, that takes courage. Leadership is courageous. Leadership â€“ real leadership, authentic, purpose-focused leadership â€“ is not for wimps. It takes courage. You will have to stand up. You will have to face the dragon.â€

â€œMost business leaders are undervaluing the intangibles of their business.â€

â€œIf you can, and I think you probably can, see yourself as part of something bigger than yourself.â€
