In this podcast episode I am sharing my personal story of overcoming obstacles in my journey of becoming a better leader. This journey started in 1998 when I came to the United States from Ukraine, where I was born and raised, without knowing a single word of English. Today, I am helping others who inspire to become better leaders to unlock their true potential and uncovering the leader within them. I always wanted to share my passion for leadership and personal development with others and that is why I have started the heartandmindofaleader.com. Please join me on the journey in the exciting world of leadership and personal development and become the leader that you always inspired to be.
