"I've been there, and I get it."

Ellen Kramer

"I know what it feels like to be driven to get to the highest levels of an organization, to create change and lift the people around me. I value the lessons I gained through kick-in-the-pants moments and the hard acquisition of soft skills that got me where I am today. I love taking a creative approach to inspiring driven individuals and teams to reach their full potential." What is your latest kick-in-the-pants moment?
