How The Leading Ladies Company began
This short video was recorded 9 months ago when Amanda shared her vision for Leading Ladies with Lisa and Shauna.
It was a crazy idea to record the first meeting, but somehow it made it real! This is a fun way to look back and see where we started. We created a vision board that night, and this was the 1st step towards creating The Leading Ladies Company. Nine months later The Leading Ladies Company is launched. Some elements for the business have changed as the business has developed, but the essence is all there.
