We are given talent but we choose to have character.

Challenges in life always seek leaders and leaders seek challenges.

One uncontrolled character flaw can ruin your greatest accomplishment.

Your greatest area of leadership often comes out of your greatest area of pain and weakness.

Character is contagious.

We largely become what we have observed and respected.

You are never wrong doing the right thing.

Being willing to listen to others and let them speak into our lives is a critical attitude leaders must have. It is not weakness to get good advice – it is strength to seek it...

Only adversity provides the opportunity for greatness.

The best defense is great offense. . .We fight through our mistakes and failures by maximizing our forward motion.

Leaders are readers, disciples want to be taught and everyone has gifts within that need to be coached to excellence.

A tough hide with a tender heart is a goal that all leaders must have.

Every great leader has incredible odds to overcome.

Success is often followed by failure. Yesterday’s victory doesn’t win today’s battle.

It isn’t stress that makes us fall – it’s how we respond to stressful events.

The enemy doesn’t warn its target. Emergencies do not make appointments, and the greatest battles of life are often surprises.

If we don’t control our schedule – our schedule will control us. If we don’t find a way to live a balanced life -our lives will get out of balance.
