And let's not forget the world-class cuisine and the unforgettable Aperitivo hour!

From Trailer Park to TEDx Talk - Leadership Lessons with Tracy Spears

If you look up the word exceptional, words like unusual, uncommon, not typical, and extraordinary stand out in defining ways to be outstanding. Our next guest’s background is nothing short of exceptional based on those adjectives. 
 
Tracy Spears, the Founder of the Exceptional Leaders Lab and our guest for the 2024 NCMGMA Master Class in Beaufort, North Carolina, emerged from a humble beginning, navigating her way from a 14x70 trailer in Oklahoma to a distinguished career.
 
Tracy kickstarted her journey with a softball scholarship to the University of Oklahoma, eventually earning a spot on the U.S. National Softball Team. Now, as a renowned speaker and coach, she challenges individuals to rewrite their success stories, urging them to embrace authentic power.
 
Tracy's impact is unparalleled, having guided thousands through keynote speeches, conferences, webinars, and broadcasts. For an extra dose of motivation, I encourage you to watch her TEDx talk, “Trailer Park University,” - a powerful narrative about overcoming hardship. Join us as we unravel Tracy’s exceptional insights and leadership wisdom in this episode of the NCMGMA Podcast.”
