Episode 10

"Ego is what get's in the way for many leaders. Leaders need to be willing to learn and grow." – Shari Strong

In this episode, Holly & Kristin talk with Shari Strong about:

Her biggest fear is not reaching her God-given potential.
The importance of investing in yourself and your development.
Never giving up on your dreams. Keep moving forward, and know that you can do this!
The need for more women willing to share their stories, be vulnerable, and not judgemental. Mentor other women and lift them up because they are our future.
Purpose & learning/development are what's most important to today's young contributors

Key Takeaways

Constantly ask yourself what you need to learn.
You are worthy. You are here on this Earth for a reason. Follow your dreams.
Let go of thinking of things as big or small. Big is relative.
If you start saying "always" or "never," recognize you are in trouble. It's not true. Get a coach, mentor, call your pastor or a friend and talk about it.
Live in the moment and just focus on today. You are right where you need to be today.
