Earlier this month, I was selected as member of Minnesota Business magazine’s 2017 (Real) Power 50. It’s an honor to be selected.
This is how the magazine describes this list:
The members of The (Real) Power 50 are the linchpins in their company. The connectors in their industry. The heart of the operation. The people who make things happen. The remarkable players in the Minnesota business community with a knack for getting things done — and being helpful along the way.
As the “behind-the-scenes” communicator for corporate leaders, I don’t usually get such recognition. But I am truly appreciative.
I’ve learned that the members of this list are selected by (Real) Power 50 alumni. It’s a chance for these seasoned leaders to recognize those they respect. I love this! As I often tell my clients, showing appreciation for others is a sign of a great leader. Not only does it protect your reputation, it helps you build a stellar loyal team.
I look forward to attending the upcoming Minnesota Business (Real) Power 50 gala and connecting with these respected individuals.
