Tell us about yourself. Who are you as a leader?
I'm very grounded, self-assured and have a lot of faith in a positive outcome. This is my influence as a leader.

Where is the best investment for our time, energy and influence and why?
Being with ourselves to find a calm, easy, positive perspective. In a world filled with distraction and confusion, depression, and suicide, the greatest commodity in the world is the ability to be a positive impact on others through your own energy.
