Through leadership dynamics and fundamentals, you will connect and strengthen relationships with your company, co-workers, family, spouse, partner, and yourself. You will develop cohesion by valuing differences in others and respect those differences to build on combined strengths. Of note, I have shared keynote leadership principles with the Northwest Interagency Wildland Incident Management Teams and Tri-Cities Basketball Official’s Academy.
