Navigating Relationships with Vision and Communication
Episode Theme: Today I celebrate 25 years of commitment to my wife. In fact, my anniversary got me thinking about personal and professional relationships. As I reflect on the journey of my marriage, it was abundantly clear that my wife and I have always shared our dreams. Our vision of what a future together might look like. How we would like to experience a future reality together.
Our life has not always gone to plan, but we are both bought into each other’s vision. There is little difference when leading a company or a team.
