Don’t worry, I’m not referring to the current global agenda!

But given this past year, are you suddenly taking a closer look at…

You’re not alone. And it’s both business… and personal.

Remember when you started your first venture? Everything felt fresh and new, and the world was full of opportunities. There were many great things ahead.

But often, after even just a few years in business, things can feel a bit stale. Even if they are working wonderfully.

Is the company you keep expanding your growth and emboldening your work in the world?

If it’s true that ‘you become the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with’, consider if your current circles are a bit stagnant.

Many women, without being conscious of it, end up landing in (and staying in) the same rooms and masterminds, year after year. The ones they are ‘comfortable’ in. They feel like family, and that’s great.

But then, there’s a calling. They realize they can still attend those meetings and love those folks, but they also need to now be more strategic about seeking out curated, elevated rooms.

A major observation I’ve had over my 15+ years of coaching and mentoring is seeing brilliant women try to solve their problems or evolve their businesses with the same mindsets that created them.

And it happens to all of us at one time or another. Often, it’s not our fault, as we fall into success patterns that we simply repeat to grow. And, we’re not as continually exposed to other ideas as we should be.

Yes, the world has forced many types of situational disruption on us over the past year, which has led to some innovation.

As yesterday’s holiday here in the U.S. was Memorial Day, the concept of freedomhas been on my mind… in more ways than one.

When I hosted my last ICONIC in 2019, none of the women entrepreneurs in attendance had any idea of what we would face just a few short months after gathering for this life-changing event.

The year of 2020 brought with it immense challenges (limiting our freedom in many aspects), but also led us to tremendous opportunities.

Now, as I share often with my clients, we are truly ‘built for all seasons’.
