Today’s a perfect day to give a shout-out to all the people (and coffee!) that fuel our everyday work. In The Experimental Leader, Melanie Parish, MCC shared how much she leaned on her husband, Mel, while writing the book: "I want to acknowledge my husband, Mel, for being my sounding board, for making sure there was food while I worked, and for always bringing me coffee. You’re my biggest champion, and it amazes me how much you believe I can do incredible things without question." So, as you enjoy your cup of coffee today, take a moment to appreciate the people who have your back and help you keep going—because leadership isn’t a solo journey! #NationalCoffeeDay #TheExperimentalLeader #LeadershipFuel #Gratitude #CoffeeAndSupport

What will you "leaf" behind this season? #TheExperimentalLeader #FallVibes #Leadership #GrowthSeason #EmbraceChange #LeafItToMe
