ELISABETH AS A LEADER

Success for me is measured by feelings, not numbers—contentment and confidence are key. It's about balancing professional diligence with personal happiness and ethical integrity. My journey has taught me to value myself, embrace community, and find joy in both achievements and everyday moments. My success is rooted in becoming content with who I am, both the good and the bad.

Leadership is not working without respectful behavior.

Great Leaders are just like you only in a different role. .

The future of leadership is a joint effort.

When I think of a leader, I think of a person enabling me.
