Leadership TrailMix
One thing that my experience in HR has taught me is that, like most things in life, people leadership is not a single thing. It is more like... trail mix! And while leading requires a combination of "flavors," deconstructing it and finding the right ratio of each element is key to making sure we, as leaders, are authentic and purposeful.
This is what Leadership TrailMix is all about: biweekly 5-10 minute reflections available on Spotify that I hope will inspire you to be a better version of yourself, not only for your team at work, but for everyone you cross paths with.
