"We grow not from experience but from reflecting upon and learning from experience."

Through our Leadership Journal, we will provide you with insightful reflections and lessons learned from our own work and experiences. We hope these entries will challenge you to think more deeply about the kind of leader you currently are and stimulate new ideas to help you develop your leadership abilities even further. We also hope that you will be inspired and encouraged to journal your personal observations and experiences as well.
