Everything I Learned About Leadership I Learned From Filmmaking
CU Water Cooler Symposium
Date: October 4-5, 2012
Location: Nashville, TN

As a former filmmaker and current credit union executive, I shared my experiences, insights and half-baked notions about how my current career owes a huge debt to my early background making films.
