This episode of The Associated hits all the right notes: professional, personal, and even musical! Our guest, Kelli Lea, the President of NAAEI and Senior Regional Manager with Greystar, brings over 20 years of multifamily experience and a passion for education, leadership, and giving back to the multifamily industry.
We dive into:
- The evolution from a “career path” to a “career lattice”
- How volunteering can ignite your leadership journey
- A little karaoke fun (because great leaders know how to have a good time!)
- Kelli’s challenge to listeners: There’s someone more nervous than you so jump in anyway.
This episode is packed with leadership lessons, association volunteering insights, and even a little karaoke talk you won’t want to miss.
