CEO & Founder, Maximum Q Leadership
Lisa Shumate is a media industry veteran, CEO and Founder of Maximum Q Leadership, and an adjunct professor with an MBA in Global Leadership from the University of Houston, who empowers leaders through transformational career advising and development.
I've learned that leadership is not measured by how far you rise, but by how many people are stronger because you crossed their path. The most enduring success comes from helping others discover what they are capable of becoming.
