Tom Were shares his leadership journey and lessons he has learned as a Transformational CEO. Passionate about leadership, coaching, and mentoring others, he shares his dream of creating a leadership garage, a space for leaders to sharpen and grow their leadership tools to impact those they lead. He likens leadership to a marathon that a leader keeps doing continually until the end of their life.
