Leadership Philosophy
Authenticity in Leadership
I sincerely believe that leadership starts with understanding and getting to know your authentic self. This involves truly knowing your core values and strengths, leading with integrity, embracing your own vulnerability, and building trust.
Leading with Heart
I will always advocate for a leadership style combining empathy with effectiveness – you don’t have to choose one or the other! I believe in building strong, personal relationships with your team members, showing empathy and providing support to others, and empowering others to take their own initiative and go on their own journey towards personal growth.
