VANESSA AS A LEADER
Success is about loving your work and making a difference so profound that others seek and recommend your work. It's about continuous self-improvement and helping others, driven by genuine care and a desire to assist, reflecting my own journey from seeking answers to providing them.
Leadership is not ordering people.
Great Leaders lead by exemple.
The future of leadership is adapting to fast changing society but always, always have a commit on cooperation, sustainable practices and shared goals.
When I think of a leader, I think of Carolina Beatriz Ângelo the fist female to vote in Portugal before even we had a democracy.
WE STOP GROWING WHEN WE STOP LEARNING.
