“We believe that leadership is more than day-to-day job performance management. As leaders, it’s our responsibility and our privilege to mentor and grow our staff personally and professionally. As the saying goes, you can’t pour from an empty cup. Leader Valley led a series of sessions for our leadership team that filled our cups and gave us tools to keep them full, making us more effective and efficient leaders and giving us a framework to better guide our teams as they choose where and how to invest their time, attention and energy.”

– Erin Earnest, Vice President of Strategy at AMPERAGE Marketing & Advertising
