Personal Leadership for Women

Before you can lead others, you must lead yourself.

I work with women in management roles to develop leadership, managerial, and interpersonal skills

so they can confidently take control of their professional and personal lives.

Success Strategy: Commit to Your Dream


Dreams do not become a reality until you truly commit to making them so. It is so easy to go year after year thinking “someday.” “Someday” I will go back to school. “Someday” I will take that trip. “Someday” I will make time to do what I want. “Someday” I will save money for the future.

Without a commitment, “someday” never comes.

I told myself for years that “someday” I would go to Ireland. My husband and I talked about “someday” we would go. It was not until last year when we made a commitment to go in 2011 did we finally make plans to go and the dream materialized.

I made a commitment in high school to go to college. I did not know how I was going to pay for it, but I was determined to succeed because that was my best chance of achieving the life I wanted.

Dreams do not happen without plans. We will discuss that later. However, plans are never made without the commitment to make the dream happen! Moreover, a commitment needs a date, not “someday.”

Dreams are the necessary starting point for success. Commitment is the critical next step.

If you have an unfilled dream, have you truly committed to making it happen? Have you made a promise to yourself to achieve this dream and by a certain date? A vague “someday” is not a commitment.
