When Letting Go Is Having It All
This has been a year of letting go. Letting go of how I used to define myself and what success meant to me.In my workshops and keynotes I often share (and get many nods in agreement) how most of my professional life I had an ongoing checklist of things I had to accomplish in order to “be” successful. If you’re nodding in agreement as well,
