While I was busy trying to hold on to these things that I thought were who I was, deep inside me was a deeply wounded little boy who needed someone to give him hope. I couldn’t find this hope in my profession, job, business or with friends. It came from a personal coach.

I believe being professional, smart, persuasive, fun, and social is not enough to become who you want to be as a young leader and improve the quality of your life and team. Don’t get me wrong. It’s important to be professional, social, smart, and fun. You should strive to be all of those things.
