It’s important to clarify not only how we want to add value to our work and to the world, but also to understand what it will take – practically speaking – to reach our highest potential. Building a bridge to the future must include an aligned vision of where we want to go and a clear view of the experiences, skills, behaviors and relationships that will move us toward the fulfillment we desire and deserve. Join Tara Jaye Frank as she shares insights and actionable tips on building a bridge designed by and constructed by you. Interview by Kate Payne, Vice President of Communications, NC Chamber |
