I've been a big fan of the Global Leadership Summit for years. It's always good to gain new insights, refocus your vision, and recharge your passion.

Over the years I've heard from the world's best and most influential politicians, business executives, pro athletes and coaches, film directors, scientists, economists, motivators, and faith leaders. Every time I leave feeling extra motivated and believe I've gained wisdom and insights to become a better leader and person.

This year was no exception.

I also found myself tweeting way more than usual at the GLS! There's so much good stuff. And while this is certainly not meant to be a full representation of all that was said, here are 22 tweetable quotes from the 2022 Global Leadership Summit.
