As women leaders, we're constantly on the go serving others. And because we're ambitious, we also are always looking forward to the next goal - sometimes because we've been conditioned to keep pushing forward.  Even when we may not want to.

So it's crucial to acknowledge the unique hurdles we face and the progress that has been made in breaking down barriers.

We can do this through pausing and reflecting on the past year which allows us to appreciate the strides we've made.  

And also asking ourselves the hard questions about what we really want from our careers.  And as a leader.

In this episode, we reflect on:

• Connecting to your proudest moments for the year
• Reviewing obstacles faced
• Identifying the limiting beliefs underlying your career decisions
• Exploring what you're willingness to change and not change if you pursue high levels of leadership

You can connect with Dr. Nicole on LinkedIn to share your thoughts, questions, or future topic ideas.
