Exploring the relationship between “image and identity”.

In this post, I delve deeper into the ‘workplace culture of trust’: how purpose-inspired, value-based, empathetic leaders embrace “vulnerability.”

As leaders, in all walks of life, we wonder: in order to truly succeed in our respective endeavors, how can we create and foster a foundational culture of trust?

Throughout my many years as an art educator and photographer, I have had opportunity to learn and understand that: everyone has the potential to be a leader.

I trust you will find and take ‘time unencumbered’ – to step back from all the challenging ‘monumentals’ and continue to gaze upwards and beyond.

I’ll also speak to another big question that comes up - like clockwork, at the beginning of each and every Introducing Myself workshop: “How’s a selfie different from a self-portrait??”.
