These authors bring to you a richly diverse background of personal leadership experiences. The life lessons they share arise from authentic trials and tribulations over the years that have gleaned them tremendous wisdom and perspective. Their stories are like none other because quite simply, their struggles have developed their strengths. They have taken considerable time to share what they have learned through these genuine ‘teachable moments’ of life to help you in your quest to succeed and make a difference.
As you read this book, open your mind to absorb and understand the true meaning of these experiences, successes, failures, and hardships experienced by the authors. ‘Success leaves clues’ and mistakes should be considered lessons of wisdom. Nothing has meaning except the meaning we give it.
Each of the following stories captures an authentic essence and philosophy of leadership that has the potential to catapult your success. However, for these accomplishments to manifest, you have to be intentional about having high expectations from this book and be willing to work diligently. As I say when I begin every keynote speech, “Life has a tendency to live up to the expectations we have for it.” So ‘expect’ to be empowered, transformed, and enlightened about various leadership topics that will change your life in every way.
Thank you for investing time to read Leading The Way: Stories of Inspiration and Leadership!
To Your Continued Success,

This year, the ‘Girl of the Year’ that Team CURE is honoring is Maddie Sargent, who at the age of eight was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. After chemo and a bone marrow transplant, she’s now five years cancer free! As Maddie shared with us once, she “kicked leukemia right in the tail!”
It’s individuals and stories like Maddie and my sister Michelle that remind us we cannot wait for a cure. We have to do something now to find a cure. Lives saved today are 110% a result from financial support in the past. You have made a difference by supporting our campaign and I, along with Team CURE, humbly thank you.
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society has invested nearly $1 Billion in research aimed at helping all blood cancer patients live better, longer lives. LLS will continue to support research and make a huge impact through their innovative and integrated funding programs, until every patient has a safe and effective therapy.
Between 2000 and 2012, 28 of 67 cancer drugs newly approved by the FDA were developed first for blood cancer patients. LLS helped advance many of them. Last year alone, LLS supported research with a disbursement of $76 Million and also funded advocacy for lifesaving treatments as well as critically needed patient support services.
One of the top qualities that surveyed leaders consistently identify as an essential leadership characteristic is … ‘desire to learn’!

Before I began my doctorate adventure years ago, I called upon mentors and others who had successfully endured their ‘rites of passage’ and earned their masters and doctorates. Those mentors who provided guidance and insight paved it forward for me and I can only hope to do the same for you by writing this book. I have consolidated the most important ‘Top 10’ tips that I, and others, feel are most important for anyone aspiring, and currently enduring, to earn their graduate degree.
You will work harder than you ever have in your life. You will be more challenged than you can imagine. Many times, you will want to give up. Expect those feelings … anticipate the frustration … foresee those moments where you are discouraged with the world. BUT DO NOT QUIT. The reason YOU will be successful and earn your masters/doctorate is because YOU will not give up. You will not quit. You will be successful because you are resilient. You will successfully earn your masters/doctorate because you will apply the tips and knowledge from this book.
You are NOT an imposter. You will earn a graduate degree and you deserve it. If you are the first in your family to embark on this journey, then congratulations! You are also a pioneer and are leaving an educational legacy!
Yes, life might get in the way. In fact, it likely will. As long as you have the support from others and a positive, developmental relationship with your faculty and advisor, you can work through those tough moments and persist through adversity.
The vision of you walking across that stage and earning your graduate degree in front of thousands needs to be a daily reminder. Moreover, the reality that you will be earning a higher-level education should be a daily motivator. The career advancement opportunities you will receive because you shattered through the glass ceiling must be an anchor for why you should persist. You’ll look back and be glad you did.
If earning a masters or doctorate was easy, everyone would be doing it. That’s why most don’t. I was one of 2 people out of my doctorate cohort who successfully finished. We had 22 aspiring students in my first class.
Lastly, there is no panacea tip for completing your thesis/dissertation. All the tips listed in this book are equally important. I did think about ranking them, but I did not want to over/underestimate the importance of any one particular tip --- these tips are not arranged in rank order importance; rather they are equally equitable. And depending on your situation, certain tips may have more relevance than others. But trust me, each tip has been vetted and examined. It’s in this book for a reason.
