Turning Points in Leadership Dr. Kristen Albert

About this episode:
After 14 episodes, Kris is pressing pause on creating new episodes of the Turning Points in Leadership Podcast as she pares down her responsibilities in preparation for "retirement." Everyone's vision of retirement is unique, and Kris's will be no exception. While her work will look a little different, you can be sure that she will not stop striving to make our world a better place though her messages of inspiration. Kris will continue to encourage and challeng people to step authentically and courageously into leadership, and in ways that are positive and highly effective.
In Kris's final episode, she shares two specific stories where someone else's authentic and courageous leadership made a difference in her life.
Kris wants to especially thank Carol Cox of Speaking Your Brand for encouraging Kris to create and host this Turning Points in Leadership podcast as a container for her thought leadership.

Brian leads in a way that is uniquely him. His way of being is calm, steady, and positive, and everything he does is grounded in intention and excellence. 
I am eager for you to get to know Brian, and to learn from the experiences that have contributed to his unique way of leading.
