The Magnitude of Choice

Choice is omnipresent. Every day, every hour, every minute offers the opportunity to make choices that move or pause us, lift or lower us incrementally and exponentially towards our individual purpose. Hear Esser share a collection of stories that have shaped her professional journey and influenced her leadership style in the hope of inspiring others to harness the power, potential, risk, growth, grace, chance, courage and conviction in the magnitude of choice.
