TCA 2020 Favorites

The leadership lessons we learned in 2020 are powerful - we have permission to be bold, and the antidote to uncertainty is self-certainty - but we also need to give our brains a break from rigor and get into play and joy. Plus curiosity is a foundational value of ours. 

Enter the TCA Team’s 2020 Favorites.
