EP 9 Will Your Story Take You Over the Pond with Leigh Lafever-Ayer
Today on The Blind Spot With Deb Seymour, I'm sharing a great conversation with Leigh Lafever-Ayer, VP/Human Resource Director, UK and Ireland.
Leigh shares her career lessons about leading herself through opportunities that presented themselves over her tenure at Enterprise Holdings.
BLIND SPOTS UNCOVERED & INSIGHTS:
The story we have about ourselves may limit our courage to take that step.
Gifts from others - how they view us and what that means...and, what to allow as truth to move us forward.
