This presentation is based on my book, Boxing for Cuba, which chronicles my immigration story from Cuba to the United States. I share my many life challenges and use them to show how they can teach us all to develop our resiliency and perseverance, no matter what problems we face. I was placed in an orphanage when arriving in the USA and, fifty years later, would be sworn in as the City of Denver's 44th mayor.

It is hard for newly elected officials to stop their campaign momentum and concentrate on running their new government. This presentation deals motivates and inspires new elected to commit to serving all their constituents and not just those who voted for them. It does so by demonstrating the good politics behind getting things done well for the greater good of all.

Leadership is a lot like how the Supreme Court Rule about pornography, it is hard to describe but you know it when you see it. I use my career experience to talk about the great leaders I met who demonstrated these aforementioned four qualities in their leadership. I use real life experiences to demonstrate how and to give the listeners a great leadership model to follow.
