Lead Thru Values

How can you create a more enjoyable in life? What can you do to help create a more favorable daily experience?

Where at work, you don't have to do a task... you get to, and where at home, you don't have to make dinner for the family... you get to.

It starts with a decision to have a positive mindset. And that's the topic that Mitchell Dean Harris and James discuss on episode 25 of Lead Thru Values.

------

Mitchell has a Masters in Social Work with a focus in Human Service Leadership. After years of volunteering and working professionally within social services he has taken a shift in his professional trajectory. His values have lead him each step of the way and it is because of his strong values that he is currently employed by Justworks, a company that leads through COGIS (Camaraderie, Openness, Grit, Integrity and Simplicity).

Mitchell loves to learn and be involved with self development, motivational content, and goes through his days with a growth mindset. These attributes allow him to share his experiences and knowledge in a way to uplift, encourage and inspire others.

Mitchell is happily married to Ilana and together they have a 14 month old daughter named Maya Ruth.
