Vice Chairman of First Data Corporation

Passion is the alignment of your vision, commitment and purpose —

but, you can’t do it halfway. Only when you’re all in will you trust your heart &

gut to guide your life’s journey.

Insight #1

Insight #2

Success in business has always been correlated with your ability to improve the lives of your consumers. Never stop elevating the

one thing that only you can do.

Insight #3

The admired leader understands that vision is nice, but it’s a distinct purpose that

will unite the people of the organization.

Insight #4

Be cautious not to celebrate authenticity, for if you’re not being true to yourself and

those you serve, you’re not living at all.

Insight #5

If you forget your heart, success will always be elusive. Have the courage to live in the moment and connect with your emotions;

it will uplift every facet of your life.

Insight #6

Success might be a great teacher, but it’s overcoming adversity that will reveal

your true identity. Make it a habit to internalize the lesson in each setback.

Insight #7

It’s wise to keep in mind that fear is a window into your limitations. Fail

to recognize and move past it, and you’ll forever be a prisoner of your past.

Insight #8

“The man who does not value himself, cannot value anything or anyone.”

- Ayn Rand on being yourself

Insight #9

Presentation tip: Before you set on stage, remember that those in the audience

will reminisce more on how you made them feel than what you said.

Insight #10

Those who reach the pinnacle hardly rely on competence, for they know that only when they’re compelling will they add

disproportion value to the world.

Reflect: Are you compelling? How?
