First of all I'm grateful for
My mental health and the health of my kids, my friends and family!
For my job, my team and my network
For the amazing people surrounding me everyday, especially the new friendship I gain out of this year. What a gift!
For the new places I have been
For feeling loved, appreciated and recognized
My takeaways for 2022
Lead from the heart
Trust your team
You have a voice, Us It
Know your values - its your GPS
You can change course anytime
Believe in your instinct and execute on them
Don't sell your values, they are priceless
Enjoy the here and now, you never know, when you have to check-out
Enjoy the cup of tea or coffee in the morning, the smell and the taste
Leave more consciously
Take your main takeaways from the past and let it go
Be thankful for the challenges, it happens for a reason and it makes you stronger than before
If you don't like the rules, don't play the game. You will not change the game nor the rules
If the door doesn't open, it was never yours
Focus on the good
Develop a player mentality
Celebrate every win, no matter how small
Growth is growth no matter how small
Every day is the perfect occasion to drink your preferred wine, don't wait for a special occasion, the PRESENT is special enough
We rise by lifting others
Break the rules from time to time
Own your mistakes
Big vision and bold initiatives takes time - doesn't happen overnight
Give without expecting something in return
It's all about perspective and...
It's all about YOU
You are the protagonist of your life story, don't let anyone take your part in your own film.?

3 年Honoured to have been and in my heart still be part of the BWBW program! My entire heart and soul went into supporting your brilliant initiative Vanessa Gentile and I can genuinely say that I became a better person in 2021 thanks to that! I have met and spoken to and I hope helped/supported so many extraordinary women in our journey - I was humble by their determination, their drive to succeed and all they could achieve whilst being mothers, wives, looking for a new job, reskilling in tech and sometimes am even studying for extra masters !!! Woah woah woah!! To 2022 ans to this program! Bravo everyone and thank you Vanessa Gentile ???? - I can feel that this year we will find our ways to “work” togetehr again! ??????
