Society's pace is getting faster and faster. We not only expect our leaders to keep up, but to stay ahead of the curve. In addition, those at the top of major companies, governments, and organizations are nearing retirement age and those baby boomers are starting to turn over the reins to younger generations. These are just some of the reasons that leadership is more important than ever, making a perfect scenario for great leaders to rise to the occasion.

I've always been fascinated by the topic of leadership; studying leaders and those that exemplify leadership. I have put these skills into practice in all walks of life; from Culver Military Academy high school, to Hampden-Sydney College, to my business career, to my personal life. I have had many amazing opportunities; I have trained, recruited, and set the pace for hundreds of direct face-to-face and indirect sales and marketing teams, owned my own company, and have started to learn the ropes of big business.
