Voices of Influence
A few years ago, I launched this blog with the idea of sharing insights, ideas, and inspiration. It is my hope that the lessons and ideas shared here help you in some way whether that is fast-tracking your career or overcoming procrastination.
When I started, I thought it was worth it if I made a real difference to just one person.
I’m happy to report that at least one person has found it life-changing. That person is me. I learn far more by sharing these ideas than you can imagine. What an incredible experience to have the opportunity to learn from so many people.
Thank you for reading, for commenting, and for sharing these posts. I appreciate all of you and look forward to getting to know you better in the coming months.
Below are some of the leadership interviews and posts with thought leaders from a variety of fields on numerous topics. I hope you find one you missed and that it positively influences your year ahead.
