My message

Effective leadership begins from the inside. In order to effectively lead, individuals must first have an understanding of who they are, their preferences and their individual style. Leadership is not about copying another leader’s style, but rather is about leveraging individual strengths and passions to provide direction, align the organization and develop a committed group of followers.
