Over 20+ years in technology leadership, I've developed a set of guiding principles that shape how I lead teams, make decisions, and approach challenges. These five principles form the foundation of my leadership philosophy.

01

Define Success

"Define success on your own terms, achieve it by your own rules, and build a life you're proud to live."

— Anne Sweeney

Define Success - What does success look like, Start with WHY, Plan Execute Monitor Control
What does success really look like?

Passion

"Working hard for something you love is 'Passion' while working hard for something you don't love is 'Stress'"

People don't find their passion by What they do, they find it by Why they do it!

Passion - Motivation, Long-term Success, Overcome Fear, Perseverance
