At the Forefront: From swing sets to the C-Suite
Some of us may have forgotten what it was like growing up and navigating the playground. It’s a challenge that shapes us from an early age, teaching us resiliency in the face of obstacles. On August 1, join Colette Taylor, COO of Sovereign Insurance, for an introspective discussion on the four key lessons she learned early in life that can help propel your career. More than scraped knees or getting home before the streetlights came on, the quiet complexity of Colette Taylor’s childhood taught her lessons she now applies in her daily operations as a confident COO. Build your own resiliency muscle and become the best version of yourself by applying childhood lessons you already know!
