- Leadership is:
- Teaching – sharing with others what they need to know, how to do something
- Mentoring - Help them see the world from our eyes
- Coaching - Help them see the world through their eyes. To do that, we must be good listeners, ask questions, and challenge them
- Follow what's interesting to you… To figure out your passion, you have to do stuff. That's the only way to fully learn what you're good at and what you want to do. Have to be willing to try, fail, keep going, and figure out where you excel and what you're curious about. That's how you find your passion and do it for a living.

- When you coach: You help your colleague make sense of their world—from their perspective.
