"If you want clear communication amongst your team, you yourself must give that communication to them."  "Leadership is about serving. If you wanna be a leader, serve first, because if you're not willing to serve, you can never be a leader." "Leadership is seeking to understand and not be understood." "When you find those people who are seeking to understand and they give you an open platform to be heard, hold them close and tied." "Commonalities are the cornerstone of creating connection." "Being a complete listener is a two-way gift. You give the person who is speaking an open platform to be heard and you yourself gain the gift of learning something new." "Once we connect more with ourselves, we connect better with others." "A master communicator is a person who knows the right time and place to communicate through digital means and the right time and place to have a direct conversation." "When we are so stuck in our digital devices, we are missing the life that's right in front of us." "Remember that when you begin to make clear, authentic, and effective communication of priority in your life, the door to opportunities becomes wide open for you."
