    MILEMARKER 04 / 04Leadership

    Leadership

    Leadership is not only a title. It can show up in an ordinary moment when someone chooses responsibility.

A Buffalo story with a wider reach

The route is still unfolding.

On October 18, 2013, Darnell stopped his Metro bus to help a woman in distress. The moment was widely covered, but the lesson he carries forward is about what people can do when they pay attention to one another.

Today, Biggz brings that perspective to live events across the United States. Each talk is shaped for its room and grounded in the belief that care, safety, and leadership begin with people.
