Not everyone can be a leader. Not everyone has the DNA required for exceptional leadership. However, that doesn’t mean we can’t all learn important lessons.

Why do I keep building their dream that they decided to go after and do?” I was like, “Here I am, building someone else’s dream.” That’s when I asked myself, “Why do I keep doing that? Why…
In all honesty, I didn’t sleep a lick the night before my TEDx talk. Every time my eyes would start to close, I’d envision my clicker suddenly crumbling in my hands or the audience in blank stares after I throw out my best joke.
