Here’s the problem: We ask nonprofit CEOs, executives, and board members to predict how they’d act in a tough situation instead of looking at how they’ve actually handled challenges before. But leadership isn’t theoretical. Leadership is what you do when you’re in the seat.

Fast forward to today, and I run a people-first business. I spend my days talking with nonprofit leaders, helping them build strong teams and make important decisions, and investing in relationships that truly matter. And if you asked most people who know me, they’d probably say, Leah’s a people person.
