‘Work is the expression of our energy and our dreams.’

Significance requires trust, and trust comes from consistently keeping promises.’

Agency gives us control over our time, and it encourages us to choose what our contribution looks like.’

‘Dignity flows from agency, allowing us to be treated as humans, not cogs.’

Seth Godin

‘Tools can create efficiency, but value can only come from change, from humanity, and from the rare form of connection that comes with significance.’

‘What you look like is far less important than the ability to involve others in your journey.’

‘The people you lure to follow instructions are rarely the people who will help you build something of innovation and substance.’

Leadership is the art of creating something significant.’-

Seth Godin

If we care enough to build the best job you ever had, the team notices. And if people who care build something that they’re proud of, the market notices.’

Leaders don’t need authority, but they must coordinate the trust, focus, and connection of people who are enrolled in a journey to do work that matters.’

Leading Yourself Even More

Lead yourself to greatness. Do not limit yourself. Because you can do a lot for yourself.

Self-leadership doesn’t mean you are doing life by yourself, but for yourself and with others.’

Change won’t happen outside of you until you decide it need to first take place inside of you.’

We either learn to lead ourselves or someone else will happily step in to tell us what our life should be.’

Commit to keeping the empowered mindset in place so the resistance you feel transforms into the opportunity you can seize.’

‘If you want to sustain an empowered way of being, you must be kind to yourself.’

‘I know that it’s easier not to own our own choices, journey, or outcomes, but it’s worth it when we open the space to do it.’

We need to empower ourselves and not wait to be empowered.’

Instead of waiting for someone else to place expectations on you, why not set expectations for yourself?’

‘If you don’t understand your strengths and limitations, it will be hard to discover your power to show up in moments that require advocacy.’

‘When you use your voice, you will experience greater empowerment, engagement, recognition, and overall life satisfaction.’

Being authentic … means being willing to show vulnerability.’
