“My first grade nun had instructed me that from those to whom much is given, much is expected. I was learning that this lesson had to be combined with Shakespeare's wisdom that one must 'to thine own self be true.' Add to this humility, empathy, a sense of curiosity, courage, and plain old hard work, and I was finally seeing the real path to leadership. Of course, humor is always a plus. (158)”

“We all want to build our lives with intention, deliberately and consciously, so how we live our life aligns with what matters to us the most.
A central part of that is living for something bigger than ourselves, so ultimately we feel that we are leading a life that matters, that our brief presence on this earth made some kind of difference.”
