Have you ever wondered if you have what it takes to be a leader? You are not the only one! In today's conversation I sit down with serial entrepreneur, Darla Bonk.
In this conversation, Darla shares her journey from starting a manufacturing company with her husband to establishing a successful business consulting firm. She discusses the importance of authenticity in leadership, the need for effective communication and soft skills, and the critical role of mindset in entrepreneurship.
