Today, Ms. Fennimore joins me to share her story. She shares what prompted her to found Humanscale and discusses the importance of motivation to want to make things better. She talks at length about her parents and their influence, and she shares her definition of leadership. She also offers her views on women in leadership, and she notes that good leaders know they have more to learn. She talks about the importance of caring in whatever you do, and she shares what she’s learned and accomplished in a year of COVID-19. She expounds on her love for the environment and animals and notes the importance of our physical aspect as human beings.

 

“Caring is the difference between success and failure.”
