BE the Leader YOU Would Follow
When people feel the pulse of you, they immediately form a subconscious opinion of how this person establishes a human connection. Are they trustworthy and inspiring? Do they have a vision? Do they feel authentic? Am I drawn to them? Do I want to work or play with them?
Hollie Mileski will share her trademark approach on how to Know the R.E.A.L. You – and just Be YOU!
A shift is happening in our world and women are being called to step up and lead more than ever. Yet, our examples of leadership often miss some key elements. Having the courage to learn how to be truly present, harness our reactions, and make intentional choices that serve those we touch is an art form that far too few of us craft.
When you incorporate this wisdom into your message and brand, you create from your soul. Then, just step back and allow your life to be sublime!
