OLGA AS A LEADER
It is on us as women to define what we want and how we will manage our own time.
Leadership is not about power; it's about responsibility.
Great Leaders inspire people to believe in themselves.
The future of leadership is empathy and compassion.
When I think of a leader, I think of someone who inspires people to do the impossible.
I LEARNED TO BE PATIENT WITH OTHERS, LISTEN MORE, AND LISTEN ACTIVELY.
