Inspiration

I was fortunate to meet and hear author Lance Secretan, who wrote the book, "Inspire - What Great Leaders Do" - last week at the CoachVille International Conference. Wow! If you ever have the chance to hear him, DO. He was amazing. The message is powerful, and so is the presentation. No pretense, no ego - rather a "serving" approach which was very well received.

Here are some inspirational quotes from his book:

“Keep your fears to yourself, but share your inspiration with others.”
- Robert Louis Stevenson

“If you don’t live it, it won’t come out of your horn.”
- Charlie Parker

“You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers. You can tell whether a man is wise by his questions.”
- Naguib Mahfouz

“Most of what we call management consists of making it difficult for people to get their jobs done”
- Peter Drucker

“Obsess about customers, not about competitors”
- Jeff Bezos

“I’ve found that every time I’ve made a radical change, it’s helped me feel buoyant as an artist.”
- David Bowie

“You are searching for the magic key that will unlock the door to the source of power; and yet you have the key in your own hands.”
- Napoleon Hill

“The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitude of mind.”
- William James
