I hope that by sharing some of my thoughts and experiences around leadership in this new era, the importance of resilience, and that humanity always matters, our upcoming leaders can bring their best selves to positively impact our global community.”

In the midst of so much disruption and economic uncertainty, The Millennium Alliance recognizes that executive education and digital transformation are more crucial than ever before for business success.

During turbulent times, nothing remains the same.  We must confront reality.  Say what needs to be said.  Encourage pushback to thoughts and opinions to try to get it right.  Leading through change equals courage and compassion. Lift each other up.  Help wherever you can.  Be good people to each other.
