DEBBY AS A LEADER

Success is being happy and fulfilled by your work. It contributes to a better world, which fills my heart.

Leadership is not a skill, its a mindset.

Great Leaders are human, conscious and responsible.

The future of leadership is in kindness.

When I think of a leader, I think of a steward for the generations to come.
