ALYSSA AS A LEADER
Alyssa's leadership philosophy is to lead with kindness, empathy and authenticity.
Leadership is not instruction but rather guidance.
Great Leaders share the credit.
The future of leadership is inclusive for everyone.
When I think of a leader, I think of ordinary people who make small changes that contribute to a big impact.
LEAD WITH KINDNESS AND EMPATHY. FOR ME THE MOST INSPIRING LEADERS ARE THOSE WHO SHOW VULNERABILITY, ADMIT TO MISTAKES AND REVEAL THEIR HUMAN SIDE.
