Where Talent Meets Mission
𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦. But 𝐡𝐨𝐰 does that actually happen? It’s not always clear-cut. It takes trial and error. It’s recalibration. In nearly 10 years as President, there’s been steps forward and back.
From Smorgasbords to Solutions
𝐔𝐧𝐩𝐨𝐩𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐧 ... who’s brave enough to share one? I’ll go first:

The end of the school year - and this is how I showed up to my firstborn’s last day of school. Yes, full costume. Platform boots and face paint.
