How do you define success?
Success is one of the results of a continuous commitment to a vision and the hard work, smart work, tenacity and faith that you put towards that vision.
What lessons from sports have you applied to your personal life and career?
Discipline, teamwork, and visualization.
What strategies do you use to improve your performance?
Setting the right goal is very important. If you set the wrong goal or work without a goal you’re working aimlessly. The right goals take into consideration ambitious vision, realistic circumstances, strengths and weaknesses.
Can You Discuss a Time When You Had to Work with a Team to Achieve a Goal?
The DisruptIt conference being launched in Jacksonville this year is an amazing example of teamwork and mission driven leadership. I am working with multiple executives – Summer Vyne, Jason Englehard, Matthew Chang, Alan Worley, Pete Cochrane – to unite our joint vision and create one incredible event. Working together requires open communication and alignment on vision, but also a lot of trust in each other as each person and their team has a lot on their plate and must be able to accomplish much independently.
