Evan SparksHOST
Can you talk a little bit about how emerging leaders can think through that transition and and help kind of what's the right mindset to get into to be able to begin making that transition from not just high performing individual contributor to a leader who is high performing as a leader?

Velera WilsonGUEST
Believe it or not, Evan, I, as I mentioned, I do not just keynote, but I do a lot of leadership development.

Velera WilsonGUEST
And one of the biggest things I see is that so often people are promoted into people manager roles because they were a great individual contributor.
