I literally had goosebumps watching this video because I personally witnessed Mechell Chetty as one of the most authentic leaders I have ever encountered.

1. Contracting for Balance: Mechell's approach to contracting with both family and leaders to enable her to juggle and balance it all is a game-changer. It reminds us that it's not about doing it all alone but creating the right support system and communicating what your needs are and what you can and cannot do.
