Shifting from Transactional to Transformational Leadership
I’ve had the honor of hearing speakers, trainers, entertainers and world-class teachers all over the world. One of my favorites for his ideas, actionable take-aways, charisma and sincere joy that he brings to the platform is Travis Thomas.  In fact, I host one world-class leadership session each year where I invite my clients from the previous year to come together, connect and grow. The location changes. The topics shift. The speakers vary. But I always invite my friend Travis to present.  He’s that good and I encourage you to do the same!
