When I served as a nonprofit executive director, I read Denise Brosseau’s book, ‘Ready To Be a Thought Leader?’ It taught me everything I needed to know to step into thought leadership, and start creating a ripple effect in my community.
In this episode, we come full circle! I am joined by Denise Brosseau, CEO, Keynote Speaker, Thought Leadership Strategist, Author, Executive Coach, and LinkedIn Learning Instructor.
