Women Disrupting the Narrative in Business
How eight exceptional business leaders organize their inner lives to flourish in their professional lives.
The Disruptive Mindset
Dare
The stories we tell ourselves can shape our identities, aspirations, and set the parameters for what we can achieve. Develop awareness of the narratives that run in the background of your life. Stop unconsciously playing out the script you’ve been given and start becoming the author of your own story.
