CEO Kim Barbero answers BC Business’ Leading Question

In the October 2023 edition of BC Business, 23 provincial business leaders were asked one question: “What’s the best piece of leadership advice you’ve ever received?”


Here’s what Kim had to say:


"I think the best leadership advice I have ever received is to always bring my authentic self to the table and to invite others to do the same—to create a safe space that encourages bravery and differing opinions.


I remember being told that it's easy for leaders to be surrounded by people who tell them what they want to hear but that you should always strive to seek the perspectives of those who feel and think differently—that's the space for change and innovation and is where I show up best."
