To become a better leader, it is important that you learn how to listen, be present, and speak up. This is what Mary Jane Pioli learned from one of her mentors while working in the corporate world.

You don't always have to solve every problem on your own, and it is important that you learn how to take a break and relax. Creating a space between allows you to stop worrying and know that the most important thing is taking the first step when you don't know what the future holds. It helps you work on yourself, avoid burnout, live a happier life, and become a better leader. It helps you learn how to be!

They also talk about toxic positivity, empowering and serving other leaders, and how Mary Jane leads like a woman. Stay tuned.
