Mentor—Teacher—Coach
I teach leadership and business courses in undergraduate and graduate programs, guided by the belief of Bridget Dewees that education is the vehicle by which success is obtained. Learning is key to the improvement cycle, a theme I explore further in my appearances on the LIFT Podcast, where I discuss the power of motivational speaking.
