Leslie Murphy is the owner of an association management firm with tenured experience in managing people, teams, volunteers, and herself.

She shares her stories about learning more about herself and how to navigate and negotiate change with others.

Because she leads many trade associations, she also has some secrets to share on how to get ahead in your industry too.
