Last week I had the pleasure of attending the Remarkable Women Leaders annual conference, and it was just the recharge I needed to start this new year strong. I could probably write 10 blog posts about all of the lessons I learned at this conference, but one moment sticks out in particular. You may recall …
Ah, the bucket list. An old classic. Although I generally think the new year is a totally arbitrary date (on every single day it has been one year if you think about it), it’s a nice time to dust off your bucket list and make some exciting plans. My guess is that everyone has had …
