Listen as Dr. Vince shares his personal story about his struggles and that dark night.
That night and his research at the University of South Florida inspired him to make leadership and workplace teams safer and to leave a legacy with heightened motivation and inspiration.

When you put people first, performance will follow, and when you protect people's lives, leadership becomes meaningful.
How do you know if you are a success?
When your people call you in their darkest moments and trust you to pick up the phone and be there for them.
I never wanted to share my story. My life was my business and not yours.
Once I began to speak, I learned, through the power of vulnerability, that many people in this world are looking for leaders and organizations that will be there for them and offer support.
