EP 18: You Were Not Born To Be Someone Else: Carve Your Own Niche; Blaze Your Own Trail — With Miami-Dade County Commissioner Barbara J. Jordan

Good leaders are trailblazers, making a path for others to follow. Great leaders, however, inspire their people to reach higher, dream bigger, and achieve greater. I had such a great time and was honored to be joined by Miami-Dade County Commissioner Barbara Jordan, a walking community treasure chest of knowledge, insight, and experience.

Commissioner Jordan has enjoyed a distinguished 35-year career with Miami-Dade County, serving in numerous capacities including as a Public Administrator, Assistant County Manager, and Vice Chairwoman of the Miami-Dade County Commission. She been the people’s voice of reason over the years and demonstrated the political will to take on the known challenges of her community.

Tune is as we discuss industry diversification for an improved economy, funding for infrastructure investment, and address the brain drain, crime, community re-investment, and accountability and transparency. She also drops gems on leadership qualities necessary for long-term success, what she’d tell her younger self, and her dream plan if she had a 100% chance of success!
