Lead With Confidence

Desiree Petrich

Welcome to ’Lead with Confidence,’ the best place to become intentional about choosing the life you lead. Leading with confidence looks like belief. It manifests as a belief in yourself that no matter the situation you find yourself in, you have the tools, the mindset, and the knowledge to overcome any obstacle. My goal is to uncover the stories and lessons of those who lead by example, to learn what their formula is for success, because guess what… The formula is different for everyone! So take what you want and leave what you don’t. we’re here to learn and grow together. I’m Desiree Petrich, a best selling author, keynote speaker, team develompent facilitator, and the best friend you didn’t know you needed! Thank you for being here, make sure you hit “follow” so I can join you in your journey to learn what it means to lead with confidence.
