Unlabeled Leadership 050: Virginie Lemay Stays Positive
I invite guests to share personal stories about acts of leadership that help shape their lives. In Episode 50, Virginie Lemay shares a powerful story about choices and attitudes. She then describes a situation in which an employee’s opinion changes because of how she led. Virginie also advises us on how we can frame our leadership practices in practical terms.
00:00 Prologue
In addition to being an excellent salsa dancer (see acronym below), Virginie is a leadership trainer, consultant, and coach who speaks (and can train in) 5 languages: English, French, German, Dutch, and Italian. If that isn’t enough, Virginie is also the Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer for Prospective Force in Luxembourg.
