Thank you very much for a great article, Natalie. I am deeply honored to have the opportunity of working with you and so many amazing women who share our vision that the best way to help change the world for the better is the bring out the best of human potential. That is what HERo is about – with a passionate and relentless commitment to women self-empowerment in entrepreneurship, finance, fintech, and technology to help narrow the gender participation gap.

Your article highlighting an innovative approach to leadership is of great interest to me. I place high value on the human side of the enterprise – the employees, your team players. They are more than “human capital” or someone with an employee ID. We are at our best when we understand and buy in the company’s vision, value and culture. And, yes, “Relationship, Respect, and individualized Recognition are keys.”

Leadership is showing, not telling. It’s coaching, instilling confidence, and inspiring collaboration to achieve a pattern of consistent high performance and exceptional results. It takes a strong “Human Commitment” to bring out the best of human potential.
