“I think one of the hardest things for people to come up with and give [to others] is time. Whether it’s coaching, providing feedback or making recommendations, I think it’s about being very intentional with your time with your peers or others in your network,” says Erin McMurray, Program Manager II, ePMO for Shentel, and marketing chair on the board of The WICT Network: Virginia, as she reflects on what leaders can give during this holiday season.
As 2021 comes to a close, many have chosen to look within to find ways we, as leaders, can give back. In this article, McMurray and two additional chapter leaders discuss the importance of ways to best contribute and why giving back is valuable; you don’t want to miss their insight.
