Tangible Takeaways:Learning how to lead begins with the willingness and ability to follow. You learn the good and the bad by watching others, and that shapes you as a leader!Listening is a powerful tool: you’ll learn more by listening and paying attention.Remember: there is so much to be learned by embracing the journey. Everything may not be falling into place as fast as you’d like, but every step is equipping you for what's coming. Do you want something? Ask for it with confidence! Know who you are and believe in your worth.Work harder than anyone around you, establish yourself as the expert, and ask for the position. Don’t wait for the title to be delivered to you.Be fearless when it comes to failure. Know that there’s always a tomorrow, you can always start again. The starting lines in life are not nearly as important as the finish line. It doesn’t matter how you start!For all dreams and goals, there are sacrifices along the way. We all make them, but you have to decide what sacrifices you’re willing to make and which you’re not. Being clear on this will help guide your decisions. About Lori:Lori Kiel, Chief Commercial Officer, is responsible for the top-line strategy for revenue, sales, and marketing for the Kessler Collection.
