Calling All Thought Leaders
From small, virtual workshops to large, onsite gatherings like our annual VACEOs Retreat, we are always looking for dynamic thought leaders to inspire us. Is that you?
I can be a better leader at the end of the day for my team.
Learning from experiences from my colleagues within my roundtable has been invaluable in terms of changing my mindset of being a doer and being that visionary.
