Key Takeaways:

• Influence is measured by how people behave when you are there, not by how they act when you are watching.
• Consistency in energy communication and behavior is the backbone of effective long-term leadership.
• Great leaders focus on creating vision, providing opportunities, and removing roadblocks so their people can grow.
• Intentional goal setting across personal, professional, and financial areas creates deeper alignment and commitment in teams.
• The journey of influencing others starts with doing the inner work to influence and evolve yourself first.

Quotes:

• If people continue to behave in a certain way when I am not in the room, that to me is influence, not control.
• Your team and your family are feeding off your leadership energy, even on the days you do not want to show up.
• I walk into every room asking how I can add value here and prove my competence.
• The company and the people we are today are not the people we need to be to run this company in twelve months' time.
• When I look at the growth I have had and the hardships I have been through, the person I am most proud to have influenced is me.
