• Learning from teachable moments  and why spending quality time with your child(ren) create great bonding moments.
• The importance of separating work from your home life.
• Sustaining a healthy marriage by dating your spouse and keeping each other as the primary focus in your marriage.
• Becoming a better leader:
  • Practice the art of leadership and the importance of learning to improve
• Being a leader at home:
  • Is less about being the boss and more about creating a partnership with your spouse
  • Providing affirmation to your children and correcting the not so good things
• The formula to leadership
  • Leader + Follower + Situation = Great Leadership
    1. Leader – you as the leader facing your own inner demons and getting healthier
    2. Followers – getting the wrong people off the bus and getting the right people on the bus
    3. Situations – providing the solutions that are not always easy
• Learning through failure and self-discovery
• Knowing when you are not good at certain things and being OK with hiring someone that does
• The importance of recruiting the right people
• Good leaders listen and learn
