TEAM/LEADERSHIP BUILDING: “Working with and leading in teams is an art. A critical element of this art form — and of effective collaboration — is the power of the question. A thoughtful question fosters dialogue that can bring insight and inspiration and lead to a transformation of thinking.”

FORGING NEW GROUND: “No matter our age or stage in life, we can all benefit from the wisdom of mentors. I continue to reach out to my mentors. They help me monitor my growth and that of the organization I am privileged to lead.”
