In this episode, Nikki chats with Valerie Cockerell, mother, author, and former Disney Institute Facilitator, who believes motherhood trains a woman, in an almost bootcamp-ish way, how to be a leader.  Tune in to hear Valerie break down how the responsibilities of a leader, much like ones of a mother, require consistency, diplomacy, a fair amount of patience, a long-term commitment, the flexibility to adapt to different personalities, and, of course, the willingness to adapt and learn "on the job." You do not want to miss this fascinating conversation! You can connect with Valerie on LinkedIn or on her website, and be sure to check out Valerie's book, Manage Like a Mother: Leadership Lessons Drawn from the Wisdom of Mom.* *This is an affiliate link.
