"Whether it's at the preliminary stages leading up to a talk, during a keynote presentation, or when I speak with people after it's all over, realizing that each person I'm interacting with is more than a number on a timecard, a photo on social media, or the title on their nametag, but a complex human with emotions, reasoning, desires, and all the things that make us human is what truly allows me to connect and inspire others to thrive. Does it take a lot of effort? Yes, but the reward for the real connection and seeing the renewed vigor that emerges from it makes it all worth it."
