General Counsel and VP, Human Resources, Quinnipiac University

I believe leadership development and diversity are the key to helping people and companies thrive. Companies greatly benefit from a diverse workforce as it helps with innovation and ROI. In particular, women are usuallly central to the functioning of the workplace and home; so companies that have policies that allow their workforce flexibility tend to have more engaged and productive employees. LeaderMom has data and strategies that can help companies on a variety of topics ranging from diversity to change management and offers training and coaching expertise to develop leaders. As a LeaderMom in a dual-career family, I wholeheartedly embrace the concepts championed by LeaderMom and know what a positive impact its work can have on an organization and provide personal fulfillment.
