KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Leadership is about how many people are going to follow you through both the good times and the challenging times.
• I believe that if people have an emotional connection to what they do then they will work better
• Those organisations that are able to unlock human potential will be those that are the most successful.
• Inspiration is about having a vision and others believing it alongside you
• As a manager, you need to manage the energy not the time
• You can learn from the past but need to be in the present
• The more you exercise your talents the better they become
• I have the ability to find the best in each person
• Inspiration is different from motivation; you only need to be inspired once but you can be motivated over and over
• If you want to inspire people you must be authentic and tell your own story and any interesting story has both ups and downs
• Communication is about your audience, not about you.
• You need to make an emotional connection with others.
• When you begin any presentation getting the attention of your audience at the start will begin to move them to a point of flow
• When you understand who you are, you can understand who you can be

BEST MOMENTS

‘I’m always looking to see what is best in each person’

‘If you want to make other people happy do something you love’

‘If you do something you love you are often in flow’
