Yesterday, I had the honor of delivering the keynote for the City of Denver. In that space, I shared my personal story and journey — the lessons learned, the mistakes made, and the growth gained.
I spoke about the power of living with intentionality, where leadership begins at home and self-care, including mental care, is mission-critical. I reflected on what it means to live a mission-driven life, where our jobs are not our identity, but rather an extension of who we are, not what we are.
A heartfelt thank you to Deputy Mayor Al Gardner for the invitation to represent the Community College of Aurora and share the incredible impact we are making in the lives of our students. It’s always a privilege to speak to the importance of purpose, service, and authenticity in leadership.
