LUCIANA AS A LEADER
My proudest moment as a leader? When colleagues I've never met in person told me they felt more inspired knowing I'm part of the decision-making team.
Leadership is not more than a position or title, it's a mindset and a set of actions that empower others.
Great leaders also make mistakes.
The future of leadership is rooted in authenticity, transparency, and resilience.
When I think of a leader, I think of I think of my mother, who led from the heart and soul, despite never having attended modern leadership training.
REFLECTION IS KEY IN LEADERSHIP.
