What makes a good leader?

“Curiosity, the ability to see around corners, the confidence to surround herself with people who are smarter than she is, high but directed energy and positivity, compassion and authenticity.”

When do you come up with your best ideas?
“Two times:
1.) Early morning with my first cup of coffee, and
2.) When my team and I have uninterrupted time and space to create, ideate, and improve our work/mission/vision.”

Who influences you?
“Strong, compassionate leaders who lead with a compelling vision, with no need for an iron fist or a loud voice.”

What is the best advice you ever received?
“From my father… ‘The breaks will come, but you have to be ready for them when they do!’ And also from my father… ‘Remember the needs of others; that is true for all those whose lives you are privileged to be part of….it’s not just about you!’”
