Jim and Jerolyn Bogear Leadership Speakers, Trainers, and Coaches at Legacy C3	Mindset: You Are Enough You Are Enough is to challenge the way we think, therefore the way we act.

There are a number of reasons to be optimistic that this will be a turning point for not only the tech industry, but… read more
