5 Inspiring Takeaways from the  Young Leaders Roundtable

On December 2, 2014 General Assembly and Local Levo Atlanta hosted a young leader’s roundtable.  I was honored to moderate the panel of young rock stars!  In the audience were young and aspiring leaders from various industries and organizations. It was an evening of engaging conversation with the diverse panel.

I’ve summarized 5 takeaways from each of the panelist and I hope it provides you with encouragement to reach your full leadership potential.
