Quote: “Creating positive change is the best way to test whether a person can lead well…and
everyone deserves to be led well
Every year I have the opportunity to speak to people around the world about the life-changing
principles and defining moments that have impacted my life. There’s nothing like making the human
connection and forming new relationships and bonds.
Speaking is really my first passion. I love challenging and motivating audiences with real-life stories
and timeless principles that I always back with actionable steps.
I’ve spent the last 40 years inspiring and challenging people from numerous Fortune 500 companies,
national trade associations, nonprofits, and educational institutions to grow, change, and find their
passion
