If anyone was looking for girl power in the City of Brotherly Love today, they didn’t have to look much further than joining the 8,000 women at the Convention Center. I was fortunate enough to attend the 12th Annual Pennsylvania Conference for Women and left with a sense of empowerment I have not felt in a long time. Some take-aways from today:
- Start a meeting highlighting the positive instead of jumping into all the problem and sucking the energy right out of the room
- When you try something new, you either succeed or you learn from it
- Read a lot (check), increase your language skills, and know your audience
- It is okay to admit you don’t know how to do something, but make sure you surround yourself with people who know can do it for you
- Develop a daily habit for risk –
- Trust your gut
- Do nothing and cherish the downtime
