About Gil Pizano

Gil Pizano BHello and welcome! “Life is too short, make it a choice to enjoy it and bring others along! The ride is more enjoyable when you have company.” On this site, you’ll find information about personal and professional development, inspiration, diversity, mentoring and leadership among many other things. I’m a person with a passion for life, people, business, and networking and this site is an avenue for sharing thoughts on these topics. I’ll also be sharing information from my speaking engagements. You will never find any information from me that is negative or destructive on this site. This is my personal promise to you! It is a living and breathing site so it is consistently evolving and growing. I welcome your ideas!
