Episode #76 - Sharing Our Leadership Assets To Grow Influence: An Interview With Hector Ortiz

The ability for ourselves to grow as leaders takes a lot of persistence, commitment, and understanding a little about our own selves in order to create opportunities for self-reflection and development of our own communication and influence. Even though these aspects are important, we must find ways in our own ways to create relationships, confidence, and determination in the ways we lead others. Leadership consultant and author of positive thinking and personal/professional growth Dr. Hector Ortiz shares his unique perspectives not only on how what he shares with others about this subject, but how he has been able to create these important aspects in his own life. Being able to be a role model is only one piece of the overall sphere of influence we carry, let alone vision for our organization (both personally and professionally). We are able to grow if we are able to examine who we surround ourselves with, and nurture our own well-being.Guest BioDr. Hector Ortiz is the Program Manager for Diversity and Inclusion at Penn State Health System.
