OLIVIA AS A LEADER

Success for me is FREEDOM= engagement and excitement of my team + excitement of my management + my work-life balance + my happy family.

Leadership is not position.

Great Leaders are free souls and speak out their mind .

The future of leadership is true you.

When I think of a leader, I think of my father.
