ELEVATE Podcast
120 episodes - English - Latest episode: 12 days ago - ★★★★★ - 15 ratingsFor every leader, there’s an Elevation. What's an elevation? A moment or series of moments of clarity that can be put into action to elevate your life or purpose. We elevate through empathy, respect, inspiration, impact, and maybe most of all, diversity of thought. Why do we do it? Leaders are taught to be so self-reliant, that they often lose themselves. We believe that clarity of purpose is a human necessity and that sharing is the best philosophy for leadership. We turn the challenges we face into conversations and those conversations into clarity.
