Authentic leadership is about leading from the core of who we are to inspire each of us to our best contribution toward a shared mission.

Authenticity is our natural state of being. The authentic self is a state of being where we are centered, creative, adaptive, and inspired.

Our suppressing who we are to fit in is exhausting. It kills flow and creativity. It also prevents genuine connection with others.

Being true to ourselves is about having courage to define our own version of what it is to live a successful life.

Confused? Confusion is good. It’s an excellent place to learn something new from.

Practice holding labels lightly as leaders so you have greater range in your behaviors and are more adaptable and effective in a greater range of situations.

Authentic leadership is at the root of cultures of great innovation, engagement, outstanding client experiences, and growth.

Authenticity is a choice we make about who we want to be that inspires our greater aliveness.

The struggle to live up to an “ideal image” of who we should be in order to feel safe misdirects and depletes our energy.

To return to our authenticity, we have to let go of all that we are not. We recognize and let go of the judgments, fears, and “shoulds” that keep us stuck.

Authentic leadership is leading adaptively from your core, choosing who you’re most inspired to be to serve the greatest good in this moment.

Safety is not a destination that we reach for, rather it is a retreat that we escape to. And if our lives are marked by the incessant search for safety, we will live the whole of it going in reverse.

There will never be an excuse reasonable enough to not strive for a life of victory.

War is a series of catastrophes which result in victory.

Possibly we might even improve the world a little, if we got up early in the morning, and took off our coats to the work.

Let yourself fall in love. If you have not done so already, you are wasting your life.

I thought last week's game was ugly and this was even uglier.

Creativity isn't magic. It's achievable.

Love is not a compromise. It's something like the rising of the sun,although you've seen it a thousand times, you can't explain it.

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master.

We're just enthusiastic about what we do.
