Do you utilize your skills daily? If not, today’s guest, Beth Ferreira may be able to help you understand the importance of holding on and maybe even letting go. Before Beth was a managing partner at WME Ventures, she did a number of jobs in different departments. Beth used this to her advantage, for when she reached the top of the corporate ladder, she knew exactly who she was empathizing within other areas of the company. Not only does Beth have an inner connection to the people throughout her company, she has the ability to put her once seemingly useless skills to use every day. Beth often accentuates the point of living realistically, whether it be taking responsibility for her team or knowing the weight (or lack thereof) of the decisions she makes, making her a leader that continues to help others flourish with her daily.
