I am sure you know this and have been told many times. Your intentionality is so important in a world where we react to so many things, versus take a moment to respond. I especially noticed it when you were speaking to us in the lodge. I work with so many leaders in business and other areas who don’t have a fraction of your presence.” - Debi“I have always admired, and continue to admire, your grounded self-confidence, and ability to hold space for those around you. I feel like you are in your power, and that your power is to help others learn and grow.
