One of the most important new skillsets we have to acquire is leadership, and not just vertical leadership but horizontal leadership as well as inward leadership. Angie Snow is one of those amazing educators that helps us reflect on our own personal leadership development and communication styles. 'Did You Know' that not everyone communicates or leads others in the same way?

I encourage you to spend some time with my new friend Kevin Fortinski, a technical trainer and advocate for heat pumps installed in colder climates.
