Midnight Run 2018 Review
I'm glad we ended up doing the Midnight Run, there were thousands of people running and cheering, and it was a great way to get 2018 off to a very healthy start!
My 2017 Favorites
It’s always fun to reflect on the past year before fully embracing the new one.
Career Profile: Jeni Lambertson, The Constellations
Surround yourself with people who keep you curious and inspire you to be better at anything and everything.
Career Profile: Ann Shoket, The Big Life
Get rid of the idea of the way things "should" be. Craft a life that works for you on your own terms. Free yourself from old ideas and restrictions about life, work and love. Be true to what matters to you, and chase the things that matter.
Career Profile: Jasmeet Sidhu, MasterClass
"Be bold in your pursuits and don't rely on others to give you opportunities. Create them for yourself."
Quiet Mornings at the Museum of Modern Art
Coffee and culture.
Career Profile: Lauren McGoodwin, Career Contessa
"My story works because I’ve learned tough lessons and been told 'no.'
My Favorite Things From 2017
These are a few of my favorite things!
Career Profile: Naomi Mdudu, The Lifestyle Edit
"Growth means pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone. Remember, your dreams are on the other side of your fears. Courage isn’t the absence of fear but the willingness to feel fear but do it anyway. "
Career Profile: Nur-E Farhana Rahman, Knotty Gal
"We love to frame everything in the context of an overnight success, but success rarely ever happens that way. We don't hear about other peoples' struggles enough, so when we struggle we feel like failures because we're led to believe our heroes never dealt with the same difficulties, which is just not true. Everyone stumbles, but the great get back up and keep fighting."
Career Profile: Whitney Tingle and Danielle Duboise, Sakara Life
"Be proactive, not reactive. Take action if you don't like something. Don't complain."
How to Decrease Job Interview Anxiety
Cross “nervous about being nervous” off your list with these stress-relief exercises that will help to calm your job interview anxiety.
Career Profile: Nisha Dua, BBG Ventures
"My mum always told me to just keep going. It’s a lesson that applies to work and to life. Understanding that nothing is fatal builds resilience and helps you evolve and grow."
How I Trained for My First Half-Marathon
You can do it!
Career Profile: Debbie Sterling, GoldieBlox
"Create your own luck. Rather than sitting around, waiting for your lucky break, put yourself out there and make it happen."
Career Profile: Rachel Parcell, Pink Peonies
"Believe in yourself. Don’t be afraid to take a risk, listen to your gut and visualize your success. Trust that the universe will lead you to that success. We create our own realities."
Career Profile: Arielle Patrick, Edelman
"Ultimately, women can have it all, but they need to loop others in along the way."
Career Profile: Katie Becker, Coveteur
"Networking mostly just means being nice. There's an assumption that when you're fresh into your career, networking is inherently opportunistic, but my best connections come from striking up normal conversations with people who are in my industry and becoming real friends with them."
Career Profile: Dr. Christyl Johnson, NASA
"You should also have a network of other women (and men) that will support you on your journey. Don't try to go it alone."
