LeadSpeak Community! We've missed you! Have you missed us?

In between watching as many Olympic competitions as possible and recovering from Hurricane Beryl (sigh!) - Nathalie has added a new book to her "must recommend" list:

📚"A Minute to Think" by Juliet Funt. 📚

With the school year approaching, Nathalie picked up this book to re-energize her creativity and prepare for the oh-so busy days ahead. (iykyk!)

If you are anything like her, you'll love the practical insights on how leaders can pause amidst the chaos to spark fresh ideas🤩, make thoughtful decisions🧐, and avoid burnout😬.
