Today’s Message is: “Talk Day!” Why Not?


“Awesome leaders set themselves apart when they walk the talk! They lead by example, motivate and inspire others, and they live and set high standard. Words matter, but leaders have to ‘practice what they preach’ in every aspect of their leadership. Are you a role model leader that lives up to the words you speak and walks the talk?” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

I've always been more inclined to listen way more than I talk. But when I do talk I'm definitely ready to do the walk when I'm finished.
