How Do You Pause?
I was recently asked to tell my life story in 7 minutes as a speaker. I did it in 10.
I'd like to share this with you - it's a big part of whom I have become.
It was at the "Diversity Equity Inclusion Conference" on International Women's Day on March 8th, organized by EWAW / Women's Business & Leadership Development Center.
At the end of the video, my call-for-action is to pause.
COVID-19 has forced all of us to pause.
For me, I have intentionally re-assessed what's important to me in life. I reaffirmed the commitment to building a life I love. I remain strategic & disciplined in making my highest contribution to the world using my unique gift - bringing out the best in senior leaders and leadership teams by helping them tap into their whole wisdom - head, heart, and body.
I also finally started working on a small book that I had wanted to write! Being at home so much during this special period of time - I have no excuse! The theme is leadership is not just from the head, but the whole body experience. It will be full of stories and will be visual.
I'd love to hear any insights or learning that have emerged for you during this unprecedented time. I'd like to learn from you and stay connected with you. If you have a thought or a story for me on my book writing project, I'd love to hear it too!
I wish you and your family health, safety, peace, and joy!
