How has Next Monday been of value to you and/or your career?
Next Monday has brought value to my life in so many ways. Participating in personal coaching or large group network programs are the perfect journey for self-discovery and growth. Being connected with a coach can provide understanding, perspective, and can help you uncover your true self and purpose. Through Next Monday, there is so much impact from the power of connection that women of this group bring together collectively. You are missing out, if you are not a part of this wonderful organization.
What are you looking forward to at the Women of Influence Summit in September?
I am looking forward to seeing friends, colleagues, and this community of women come together to share stories and transformations that have changed lives. There is so much wisdom locked up in the stories that we often never tell. I am also looking forward to sharing my own journey on the stage with this wonderful group that paints the picture of overcoming, sacrifice, and determination as well as daily decisions that can help create the magic of change.
What are you hoping to share with fellow attendees at the Women of Influence Summit?
I hope to provide inspiration to those that may find themselves in the messy middle or one of life’s transitions and share my fearless approach to help create magic.
I hope to remind them to reflect on what they have also worked to overcome and how powerful that is.
