The guys sit down with St. Charles native Ann Tardy, Founder of human capital consultancy MentorLead.
As a former Silicon Valley corporate attorney and a current CEO, Ann knows people from many dynamics. In 2003, Ann launched MentorLead to bridge the gap between culture and strategy. When mentoring is used as a strategic initiative, clients create an agile workforce that is intentionally driving the organization's critical goals and objectives... leadership regardless of title.
Ann has been influencing audiences from the stage and in her books for over 15 years. She is the author of Ambition on a Mission (2007), Moxie for Managers (2011), Why Mentoring Matters (2013), and In a Flash! (2018).
When not on a stage, Ann is on her bicycle. In 2011, Ann cycled 4,200 miles from San Francisco to San Diego; in 2012 she cycled 2,600 miles from Key West, Florida, to Bar Harbor, Maine; in 2014 she cycled 1,600 miles from Seattle to San Diego; in 2016 she cycled from Crater Lake to Yosemite; and in 2018 she cycled from Banff to Yellowstone.
