In this episode, we hear from author, business and personal coach, consultant and motivational speaker, Adrian Bracy about leadership, career pivots and how to take the right next step.
“It’s knowing myself, first of all. What can I do? What are my limitations? A lot of us, we don’t even think about that. We just assume that we can do it all, and unfortunately, that’s just not right.” -Adrian E. Bracy, MBA, CPA
