“Two Words. These two words can change your mood, change your mind, change lives and the world – if we understand them and leverage them.”
This is not just something I say; this is something I know, live, and embody in everything I am and do. The most dangerous thing that can happen to us as individuals or organizations is the feeling that we don’t matter. Whether I am speaking about the next technology trend or finding your brave, Mattering is THE agenda that drives and facilitates all others.
When I say to you from the bottom of my heart YOU MATTER, I say this not to inspire you or make you feel better about yourself.
I say this because it is undeniable truth. I am here to remind you of your most human responsibility and that is your need to matter. Because you are a Genius – and the world needs your contribution!
