Tweetable Quotes:

“The hardest part for leaders is to just get out of the way and not be the bottleneck… It can’t be about you, I think that’s part of leadership, it’s not about you; if it’s about you, then nobody really wants to follow that.“ - Dr. Mark T. Wade

“Summit Talks is near and dear to my heart, it was for me to help as many people as humanly possible understand that they have a message and be able to get that message out and the vehicle is virtual summits.” - Dr. Mark T. Wade
