Your October Surprises From Take The Lead

Issue 242 — October 2, 2023

No, not October surprises like in politics, where they’re always bad news. We don’t need those.

These FREE juicy morsels of practical information to use and inspiration to lift us up, served up in brief, engaging chats, will spice up the fall without the calories of pumpkin spice lattes. Though feel free to sip one while joining us for these conversations.

During October, we invite you to join snack-able virtual bites I’ll moderate with prominent guests, including interactive Q and As. Join one, all four, or any number in between. And if you can’t attend at the time set but are enticed by the content, register anyway and we’ll send you the replay to consume on your time.
