When you gather a room full of inspiring leaders 1+1=11 and extraordinary things do happen!

I was delighted to moderate an incredible panel with the fabulous Anne Clarke Wolff and Vanessa Dager.

A huge thank you to Bank of America, Options Group, and Women in Financial Markets (WIFM) for partnering on this event.

The evening was charged with intellectual energy, fun, and invaluable insights.

A few standout nuggets from the night:

1. You can do it all, but not at the same time. Life will require you to make trade-offs. Be comfortable with your choices.

2. Be a ​firm “no” to things, rather than a reluctant “yes”.

3. Nobody ever made a fortune by being fast at email.

4. There will always be somebody who doesn't see your worth. Don’t let it be you.

5. Don’t mistake winning an argument for solving a problem.

6. Stop worrying about what everyone else will think.

7. Panic productively.

8. Exercise is not time out, but time invested and fuel for the bigger picture.

AND remember - 𝗤-𝗧𝗜𝗣. Quit Taking It Personally. A person’s reactions are rarely about you.
