the difference

Bethny’s authority comes from the meeting point of executive leadership and lived experience. She understands the weight of decisions that affect people, performance and trust, along with the private work of beginning again when no strategy applies. That combination gives her work unusual depth. She can identify the tension others miss and help people decide what the moment requires.
