  • The Alchemy of Leadership Pt. 3

    In this episode, we continue our Alchemy of Leadership Series in conversation with Author and mentor Lucas L. Armstrong, who wrote the book entitled 'Your Story is not Your story' 


    From the Author: 


    One key to successful leadership is continuous personal change. Personal change is a reflection of our inner growth and empowerment.

    —Robert E. Quinn


    Through my story I want people to understand that in order to have success you must grow personally in all areas of your life. It does not matter what you have gone through but that you grow through it. I want you to know that your story is all you have, and nobody can take that away from you. If you have a dream, don’t give up on it; and if God has put it in your heart and your dreams, then it’s already done. Life will happen to you but through your own personal growth, you will succeed and impact the world.


    My mission is to let you know that I believe in your dreams, but you have to understand that you have it in you already to have the life you want. Remember, it’s not over until you win. I believe in you, so go live your dreams. Take care and God bless.
