We live in a world where many of us have a lot of friends on Facebook but yet we have lost human connection.

The business of business is relationships; the business of life is human connection.

Hard work opens doors and shows the world that you are serious about being one of those rare - and special - human beings who use the fullness of their talents to do their very best.

People fear leaving their safe harbor of the known and venturing off into the unknown. Human beings crave certainty - even when it limits them.

A leadership culture is one where everyone thinks like an owner, a CEO or a managing director. It's one where everyone is entrepreneurial and proactive.

If you really want to be world class - to be the best you can be - it comes down to preparation and practice.
