“Howard helped our leaders get out of our “box” by discussing challenges and difficult changes that the airlines industry and certain companies have gone through and how they succeeded (or failed). It was an easy leap to see how the business challenges they faced have similarities to our own, and how strong, inspirational leadership rises above the challenges to ensure success.Further, his message is one of not just accepting change and playing the game as we know it, but rather rising to the challenge and changing the way the game is played. From his personal stories and with his charming wit, Howard inspired us all to give our very best every day and enjoy ourselves while we’re doing it.” –Gulf Power Company
