Last week’s Twitter Chat on leadership was incredibly inspiring and came at the perfect time as we wind down 2015 and welcome the New Year! Thanks to The Hartford’s 2015 Millennial Leadership Survey, we found that Millennials are craving more leadership training in the workplace.
Workplace expert and best-selling author Lindsey Pollak and I teamed up to empower participants with resources, action steps, and expert advice on how to “Unleash Your Inner Leader.”
Take a look below for the highlights from our #Millennialtalk chat last week.
