In this episode of Boss Talks, Evan Happel had the pleasure of diving into the life and career of Dena Hendry, a marketing boss in the multifamily industry. Her story offers a wealth of inspiration for anyone looking to inject passion and purpose into their professional journey.

Dena's adventure in the realm of marketing and leadership began with her role at Pettinaro Residential, where she took on the mantle of leasing and marketing manager. Her story is not just about career growth but also the integration of personal values and community involvement, making her a standout figure.

One of the key takeaways from Dena’s discussion is her view on leadership. Far from being just a position of authority, Dena views her role as akin to being a cheerleader for her team. She emphasizes the importance of supporting and uplifting her team members, helping them to achieve their own goals while collectively pushing towards greater success. This approach not only fosters a positive work environment but also propels the entire team forward, reinforcing the idea that genuine leadership is about empowerment and encouragement.

Another significant aspect of Dena's story is her deep involvement in community activities, particularly with the PTA. Her dedication to making a difference, both in her professional and personal life, is a testament to her belief in the power of community. Whether it’s advocating for better educational opportunities for children or creating a more cohesive workspace, Dena’s efforts are a reminder of the impact we can all make within our spheres.

Dena's candid admission of facing impostor syndrome and her journey towards overcoming it adds a layer of relatability to her story. It's a reminder that everyone, no matter how successful, grapples with self-doubt at times. Her story encourages us to confront our fears, lean into discomfort, and emerge stronger on the other side, equipped with a greater sense of self-worth and capability.

Dena Hendry’s story shows that it’s not just about reaching the top but about lifting others as you climb, about making a difference in the broader community, and constantly pushing the boundaries of personal development. Dena Hendry is not just a marketing director; she is a leader, a community champion, and a perpetual learner. And that's a narrative worth celebrating.
