To become a great teacher, you must first become a great student!”
Great leaders drive results—because results matter. But achieving results isn’t just about strategy; it’s about leading people. True leadership is the ability to authentically communicate, inspire, and influence others to take action.
I believe leadership starts from within. To effectively lead others, you must first lead yourself.
