She’ll walk through the mindset shifts and key insights that have shaped her leadership journey and helped her grow into a more effective leader.
Whether you’re new to leadership or looking to refine your approach, this session will cover five key lessons Danielle wishes she had known earlier. You’ll leave with clear actions you can try implementing immediately and a fresh perspective on managing the heat that often comes with leadership.
