And what does it mean to lead, not just at work, but in your home, your community, and your own life? Friends, I had such a rich and honest conversation sitting down with Gretchen Schott at The Engine Room in Broad Ripple, and I can tell you, I walked away with things I'm still processing.Gretchen Schott is a leadership expert and executive coach with more than 30 years of experience helping leaders build confidence, trust, and impact.
