Menders: Lead from Within with Dr. Nicola De Paul

Who You Are Determines Your Team's Outcomes.

Who you are as a whole person contributes to your team's effectiveness and ability to perform at the highest levels. Leaders who care about themselves and their people have a more significant impact on the world.
We can fake it for a while, but long term, we can't fake who we are. And our whole selves need attention. When we're willing to be vulnerable and invest in bringing our whole selves to our leadership responsibilities, we leave an indelible impact on our teams and the world.
