PRAISE FOR LIVING AND LEADING THROUGH UNCERTAINTY:

“If there was ever a time for leaders to stop relying on their own experience and capacity to make decisions, it’s NOW! Living and Leading Through Uncertainty will give leaders the courage to embrace their strengths and weaknesses, surround themselves with people who complement them, share their collective wisdom and stop thinking they’re weak because they don’t have all the answers.”
