Member Spotlight

“Lead in little ways instead of focusing on only big opportunities like a promotion. Look for ways you can lead right now: start a book club, ask people you know if they want to meet for a monthly coffee group, organize a volunteer opportunity or trip/conference that you are interested in and be open minded to what comes through these things. These items are just as important as bigger opportunities.”
