How has the action learning process in the context of the Leadership Academy experience
contributed to your growth as a leader?

The Action Learning Project continually ties my work back to the field at large. It forces me to rethink my approach to serving
elders through workforce development efforts. It has also been a great lesson in seeking opportunities to partner internally
with departments that are not a standard part of my day-to-day, providing a greater sense of connectedness both to the
organization’s mission, but also, the field at large. The project also presents an opportunity to “pay it forward” and contribute
outside of work responsibilities.
