Leadership is not so much about technique and methods as it is about opening the heart. Leadership is about inspiration – of oneself and of others. Great leadership is about human experiences, not processes. Leadership is not a formula or a program, it is a human activity that comes from the heart and considers the hearts of others. It is an attitude, not a routine. Lance Secretan.

When someone is walking beside us, we have more courage to walk into the unknown and to risk the dark and messy places in our journey.

Our differences need not divide us because even as we are unique and individual, we are also all one.

We must be present enough and receptive enough to “hear” with our whole being beyond just the words that are being spoken.

We are most effective when we are able to lean in fully to the resource of the other people in our lives.

Letting go of the security of what is commonly understood requires a big leap of faith and a willingness to fall.

It is only through dialogue, deep listening, and passionate disagreement that we find our way to something larger than a singular and isolated point of view.

There’s no better way to serve and nourish the magnificence in another person than to simply listen to them openheartedly and without judgment.

Failure is a natural part of learning and developing, and it teaches us to be resolute and steadfast in our endeavors.
