Day 45:<\/p>\n
I started attending this event almost ten years ago in Philadelphia at the PA Conference for Women. It\u2019s always a day filled with passion and energy of thousands of women and I always leave the conference ready to try out new strategies at work and ready to change the world. This year we were able to send 23 women from our company and it was fun to be able to share our reflections on the day afterwards.<\/p>\n
Following the conference, my amazon account took a hit as I added several books to my already long reading list. While Reese Witherspoon was one of the keynote speakers and was great, Dr. Brene Brown\u2019s urging us to be courageous leaders and to have the hard conversations resonated. She stated that \u201ctapping out when things get tough is the very definition of privilege.\u201d Whoa. I won\u2019t forget that. Managerial courage is one of our leadership competencies at work and one that is an ongoing challenge. I also attended several other talks on killing complexity in the workplace and how happiness is key for success and not the other way around. Sorry team, if you read this, I\u2019ve got several ideas I\u2019ll be implementing in 2019.<\/p>\n
Positive Thought of the Day: Thankful to my husband and mom for watching baby J so I could fill my bucket at the conference today. Also for private facilities and fridges at the conference for nursing mothers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
