How Profiles helped me become a better leader
“Profiles in Leadership taught me that great leadership is as much about compassion as it is about vision. Hearing Lianna Kinard share her story reminded me that resilience is built in those quiet moments when no one believes in you, but you keep showing up anyway. That lesson has completely reshaped how I think about leading with purpose.”
-Jennifer Remirez
