Today marks one-month until #WeLead Leadership Academy! Are you ready to tell your truth? You'll have an opportunity onsite (not the booth in the pic :) where you can confess/converse about barriers, challenges, and solutions when it comes to leadership in both life and career.
Just a sneak peek behind-the-scenes as we're deep in the trenches of prep for 2020 (in this case Young Professionals Conference). In the forthcoming series, we'll be taking you on a journey across the country as we say #heyapia! @noelharmon262
