Leadership is Sometimes Waiting for the Brunnera Plant to Bloom

Apr 30, 2024 | Leadership

I am an amateur gardener, which means I have a flower garden at my home, as well as a veggie garden at my mother’s apartment. Tending my gardens gives me a chance to let my thoughts wander, so it was no surprise that I thought of my new video when I was weeding around this gorgeous Brunnera Jack Frost plant. I planted this as a seedling so many years ago, and it languished. Now after years of feeding it, moving it to a different spot, and weeding around it, voila! It’s happy, thriving, and making a big splash in the garden.

The Brunnera plant is similar to my video. I have certainly been fed! And after years of gathering footage at the many venues where I have spoken, the video is ready to be seen. I hope you will take a look, and if you are a former client or participant, you may even recognize some of the amazing places where I have spoken.
