“I felt like there was a bit of a tension between two concepts of leadership… more command-and-control leadership and more authentic, empathetic leadership. And I really wanted to understand the science behind transparent empathetic leadership.” – Amanda Tucker

For more than 30 years, Sharon Richmond has partnered with C-level executives from mid-size and small, fast-growing companies who want to up-level their leadership and build companies they are proud of. Clients accelerate their leadership by embracing mindset and behavior changes, building self-awareness and self-management skills, and focusing on the three things all leaders must ensure: focus, energy, and delivery.
