“Take risks – in both your work and in your relationships; get to know someone out of your comfort zone. Speak the truth, but speak it in love – not one or the other, BOTH! Do what you love doing with people you love – or keep moving on; the best role for you is out there. Life is an adventure to be lived, not a problem to solve!” – John Porter, CEO of Charter Properties & ULI Foundation Governor.
