It’s been an eventful year here in the Leaders Edge blog, hasn’t it?

This year I decided to go a little deeper on topics that I covered here. Rather than covering a topic with just one blog post, I wanted to spend each month on a single theme, and I love how this worked out. I think taking a little extra time on each topic allowed me to go into greater detail and tease out more helpful advice for leaders like you.

I began the year by covering how leaders can transform themselves. I concluded the year by discussing the importance of self-care. In between, I covered topics ranging from mindfulness to meetings, and it’s been quite a ride!
