More Episodes

In this episode, I discuss the importance of finding the right management for your organization and reveal some facets of that process that I had to learn through trial and error. As it turns out, you need to discover more about yourself and what you need in a manager if you're to find the right people to lead the rest of your team.

At the end of June, I will be launching a new DiSC training initiative to help MWBEs in this process. Because of the nature of this training, I will be limiting attendance to a small group of no more than 10-14 people, so if you are interested in taking part, please contact me! During this training, you will learn techniques to assess yourself and your needs, create a motivating environment, and much more.
