She shares her challenges and personal struggles with defining just who she was a leader and how in not knowing it affected her both physically and mentally.

To be an effective leader, we have to build on and develop skills like emotional self-control, empathy, and teamwork; we must be aware of our feelings and how they influence our thoughts and behaviors in our personal and professional life. Emotional self-awareness and self-understanding also help leaders link their emotions to the effectiveness of their interactions with others.  "TO THINE SELF BE TRUE" by William Shakespeare.
