What makes you an effective leader? (Your greatest strength). What are you still working on?

I’m a collaborative leader who values alignment and making sure everyone understands the “why.” When people feel confident and heard, the outcomes are stronger. I hold myself to a very high standard, and I’m still working on letting go of perfection in my own work. Over time, I’ve learned to trust my instincts and expertise more, which has made me a more effective and confident leader.

What’s the best advice you have received in business that you wish to pass on to our readers?

The best advice I’ve received is to say yes to the things that make you uncomfortable and to remember that a conversation never hurts. Some of the most meaningful opportunities in my career came from conversations I almost didn’t have. Growth doesn’t usually show up when it’s convenient. If you stay curious and put yourself out there, you’ll be surprised where it leads.
