Maya Angelou
 Be a rock star in whatever you do each day to
put bread on your table.
 Being great at work is not just for the
organization. It is a gift you give yourself.
 Good things happen to people who do good
things.
 Do not need to have the biggest title to do the
best job.
“If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he
should sweep streets even as Michelangelo
painted, or as Beethoven composed music or
Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep
streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and
earth will pause to say, here lived a great street
sweeper who did his job well.”
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
 When you say yes to an unimportant thing,
you say no to an important thing.
 Know your priorities and goals.
 You are not in this world to please every one.
Would you rather live your life according to the
approval of others or aligned with your truth and
your dreams?
 Being a leader is not about being liked. It is
about doing what is right.
 Great leaders make right decisions and
worrying little about public opinion.
 They make strong and courageous decisions,
when required by circumstances.
 They are part saint and part warrior.
“Great people build monuments from the stones
that their critics throw at them.”
Dan Sheehan
 Leadership has nothing to do with the title on
the business card.
 Leadership is available to each and every one.
 Think and act like a CEO.
 But know your role.
“By leadership I mean taking complete
responsibility for an organization’s well-being
and growth, and changing it for the better. Real
leadership is not about prestige, power or status.
It is about responsibility.”
Robert Joss
 Your vocabulary drives meaning in your life.
 Do not call a setback a problem. Call it an
opportunity to create something even greater.
 Positive language provokes a set of positive
sensations.
The words you use influence the life you live.
Select them wisely.
“Have something in your life that
you are even ready to have a bullet
on your head for that.”
