leadership

VERENA AS A LEADER

Success is about steering your own life to contribute meaningfully and enjoyably, while continually embracing the process of achieving personal and professional goals.

Leadership is not people management.

Great Leaders don't take themselves too seriously.

The future of leadership is going to be challenging for some while empowering many creating a better world for all. .

When I think of a leader, I think of Michelle Obama, Verena Pausder and Lisa Fassl.
