Spirit of Leading Podcast - INPowered2 Lead

I like talking to interesting people who are living INPowered lives. They also demonstrate a Spirit of Leading that is service oriented, self-less, and sincere. They come from all walks of life and all generations. They are the doers who simply look for ways to improve their surroundings and impact the lives of all they touch as a result.

The Spirit of Leading podcast will help you find ways to get the most out of your current circumstances by becoming more INPowered to LEAD in every aspect of your life: at home, at work, and in your community.
