Vera Kimmi is the VP of Sales at Forte Group. For Vera, the arts, particularly theater, nourish her soul. By embracing her need to be creative and perform, she has found that she’s a lot better at connecting with people at work. Our second guest, Kevin McShane is the Chief Revenue Officer at Affinitiv as well as a mentor at the Junto Institute. Kevin shares how reciprocity is key to his purpose. His goal is to mentor and help as many emerging leaders as he can. This service to others is his passion and having interactions with other organizations outside of his job has helped him grow as a leader.To conclude, Raman discusses his thoughts on happiness as well as why the idea of filling your bucket is a more lasting piece of the happiness puzzle.
