Are you living in a marriage where you have had to change who you are, or have lost sight of yourself completely, just to avoid conflict and minimize fear? Are you working in a particular job or industry because your parents or spouse told you it was the responsible choice? Are you a woman who […]
There is very little I’ve experienced in the business world that is more frustrating than working with a visionary leader who inspires me completely and yet can’t execute.
