Results-Oriented

It's not enough to focus on results but you must fall in love with the results.  Falling in love gives you energy, passion, obsession for the result you desire.  Fall in love with what you want and it will give you the fuel to propel you forward and compel you to finish it!

Lead as a Player on the Team

Advocate for Others

 Nothing is more powerful than recognizing and advocating the talents of others while climbing the ladder of leadership. Whether it is defending their idea, promoting their strengths or pulling them upward and pointing them forward, everyone can use a helping hand!

Identity - Strong Sense of Self and Character

Identity: What is it?  I often tell people, "If you don't define who you are, others will define you. " It's true, isn't it?  We need to have a strong sense of self; otherwise, we are likely to fall victim to the manipulation of others, prone to feel powerless (and subsequently to lack the ability to make choices for ourselves).  Deep introspection--reflecting thoroughly on our thoughts, ideas, past experiences, and behaviors--helps us to discover and define who we really are.
