Happy New Year! Not only is it a new year, but a whole new decade has begun. With that, I have been doing a lot of reflecting on the positive impacts my consulting and coaching services have made in the growth and leadership skills of my clients this past year. It comes to no surprise…
Leaders regularly confront questions on how to be the most effective and influential leader. Some questions rattle the core of your being. Such as, “Who are you? What defines you?
