Every year, my team and I attend the leadership summit and it is always refreshing, challenging and recharging for me. Easily the best leadership material in a conference that is out there. I try to share some of the highlights I took from each session.

Here are some thoughts from the session with Dr. Krish Kandiah on Vision and Seeing Things Differently:

• Leadership is about seeing things differently than other people.
• A visionary leader helps other people to see things differently.
• Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others. -Jonathan Swift
• Leaders are called to see potential where others see trouble.
• Leaders see hope where others see chaos.
• You and I are more than the worst thing we’ve ever done or the worst thing that was ever done to us.
• The opposite of prejudice is hospitality.
• What legacy would be passed on to your children if you brought kids into your home that were in need?
• Investment in people leads to loyalty.
• The kitchen table is the most valuable part of your house because of the stories that are shared around them.
