What if the most powerful leadership lessons aren't coming from business schools or corporate boardrooms, but from red carpets, volunteer hospitals, and government meeting rooms? [PAUSE] Right now, business owners over 40 are facing unprecedented leadership challenges. You're juggling team management, strategic growth, and personal health considerations while trying to stay relevant in a rapidly changing market. Ask Ms. Prince clients are discovering that the best leadership insights are hiding in the most unexpected places, and this week's examples prove that authentic leadership transcends industries.
