Helping Business Leaders Break Through. CEO & Executive Communication Strategist + Board Chair + Professional Coach + Fortune 500 Leader + Writer & Storyteller + Employee Engagement Driver + Crisis & Issues Expert

The best professional growth and development opportunities are often outside of your career and your workplace. To grow as a leader, you have to grow as a person. I just returned from my first mission trip to Chiang Mai, Thailand with a group of a dozen people I didn’t know before. I had to give trust and earn trust, to lead and to follow, to be strong and be vulnerable. My team led children’s activities through a language barrier. We lightened the workload for a community. We rode elephants bareback without falling off. 😳 It was exhausting, exhilarating and life-changing. When you work on your development plan for 2024, broaden your perspective of what professional development should be. I’m working on mine right now, and I’d love to hear about the opportunities that have helped YOU grow as both a person and a professional!
