Leadership -- Letters to My Younger Self

After nearly seven years and being in the role of chief operating officer of a company that grew from $2 Million to $106 Million, Cameron wanted the lessons he’d learned to sink in. So, over the period of the three months immediately following leaving the company, he wrote for twenty minutes every day in a journal to capture what I’d learned. He wrote lists. Mind-mapped. He just wrote. He learned about himself during that period of reflecting. Leadership lessons he wished he’d known 20 years earlier but no one had taught him.

During this session Cameron will share fifty-eight hardcore leadership lessons that he’d actually learned in 20 years of building 4 fast growth companies.

This is the perfect keynote or workshop session for all conferences where managers or leaders are in attendance.
