A speaker reflects on how parenting builds skills that transfer to leadership: perspective, empathy, and purpose. Raising kids teaches you to relate to people and work with them more effectively.

My kids have really helped me stay grounded. They show me a different perspective, which really balances things out. I think it also allows me to have empathy. Right, like whether you're caring for elderly parents, you have children, you're taking care of a friend, whatever it might be. We all have people that mean something to us in our life. And for me, my kids have just given me that. That sense of purpose. And it helps me be relatable to others as I'm working with them, talking to them, navigating things with others.
