Program Purpose and Sponsorship

Kari Burkey

Leadership is a journey, not a destination. I am grateful to participate in the Ag One Leadership Program as part of the pathway on my journey of ongoing development. Throughout the AgOne sessions to date, we have focused on the importance of having a clear vision and setting SMART goals. We have assessed our leadership strengths and weaknesses using the BUILD Assessment. Gaining insights into our Emotional Intelligence to enhance our Self-Awareness has been valuable.
