"If you want to be an impactful leader with a meaningful legacy, there is no room for you, or your responses, to be one-dimensional. In fact, critical to your success is your ability to sit within the middle, gray, and muddy spaces which make us uncomfortable.

I know this because I work with leaders around the world, high powered CEOs and massively successful people seeking to put their Time, Talent and Treasure to work in the world in ways which positively changes the game on a massive scale." - Bessi Graham
