“Winning this award means a great deal. I have been very fortunate to have been coached by some great leaders in sports and in business, and winning this award is a tribute to the lessons that have been passed down to me. Leadership is not about a title or a position, it is about empowering others and developing quality and trustworthy relationships. Leadership is about consistent action, delivering on your word and doing what is right, which isn’t always what is most popular. I was taught that a boss says, ‘Go!’ and a leader says, ‘Let’s go!’
To be looked upon as a leader is very humbling and comes with great responsibility. It isn’t easy; it requires a lot of patience, but it is so rewarding to see people on your team and within your organization build their conference and aspire to become a leader themselves. Creating more leaders is the tell-tale metric of a great leader.”
