‘Ultimate fulfillment and significance come from a lasting sense of joy and satisfaction, from fully living a life purpose centered on adding value to others.’

‘When you stop wanting to control people, that’s when you begin to empower them to take responsibility for and ownership of the choices they make and the actions they take.’

Don’t take things personally, and don’t let problems drag you down.’

‘When we push others down, we can’t help but push ourselves down. When we bring others up, we can’t help but bring ourselves up.’

‘In the process of giving we are already receiving.’

‘People are often too engrossed in what they are doing to become aware.’

Don’t be attached to the need to be right. If what you perceive as the truth turns out to be not the case, you can acknowledge it, let it go, and move on.’

‘You should … be on the lookout for teachable moments to ask direct and powerful questions that energize change.’

Don’t be too attached to your intuition, no matter how certain you feel; always be ready to let go.’

‘People can make adjustments to stay on course when they know how they are progressing toward their goal at any given time.’

‘When you focus on open-ended questions and broader questions, you stimulate ‘out of the box’ thinking and widen people’s horizons.’

‘Authentic leaders are not ego driven, nor are they driven by power or money. They are more interested in learning, self-improvement, and helping others.’

‘Communicate directly with everyone in your organization and behave genuinely regardless of formal titles.’

‘Leaders who accurately size up external events and solve problems based on this assessment tend to be capable of greater achievements.’

‘Authentic leaders focus on results- setting both short-term and longer-term goals. They are not afraid of looking vulnerable and can own up to mistakes.’

‘Emotional self-awareness will enable you to lead with composure and a full understanding of your impact on others.’

‘Knowing your emotional triggers and reactions will enable you to use this emotional knowledge to effectively navigate through challenging or difficult situations.’

‘Acting arrogantly or not showing integrity can be the kiss of death in today’s world.’

‘Coaching means going out of your way o make sure people realize their full potential.’

‘Leading an organization when times are good and things are going well is not when one thinks of flexibility.’

Being emotionally intelligent means you’ll have the ability to successfully distinguish the emotions best suited to a particular situation from those associated with other parts of daily life and use those emotions to navigate the decision-making process.’
