Happy New Year!

The end of a year is a great time to reflect on where we are in our lives and where we want to be. This reflection will come to nothing, though, if we do not create goals, develop plans, and then implement those plans.

My hope for you this year is that you take the time to do what is necessary so that a year from now, you have the life you want.

Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays! I hope you enjoy the season and find time to appreciate all that is important to you!

Success Strategy: Just Ask

Recently I had a bit of a career confidence crisis. A potential customer did not like aspects of a new project. Usually I analyze the comments and decide whether I should make changes or not. This time was different. This time it really threw me into a circle of doubt about a career choice I had made.

I did something that is difficult for me to do. I asked others what they thought. I contacted two friends, also professional women, who were familiar with the project and who I trusted to be honest with me. They were fantastic! They told me what they thought and really helped me put things back into perspective.

I also told my husband who then told a mutual friend. She thought my idea was great and shared similar experiences she had and how she handled them.

By the end of the day, my confidence was back and I had a plan on how to handle the situation.

We do not have to do everything by ourselves. We do not have to know everything ourselves. Sometimes the best thing to do is just ask!
