Yes, I consider myself successful because I have been able to leverage my experiences, skills, and opportunities to make a positive impact in my field, continuously strive for excellence, and maintain a balanced and fulfilling life.
Leadership is not hierachy.
Great Leaders inclusive.
The future of leadership is starting todady.
When I think of a leader, I think of humbleness.
RESILIENCE, DETERMINATION, AND A COMMITMENT TO CHANGE.
