Chapters

So it was my first in person meeting as well. And that's why I decided last month to just do it all for this first one and throw my hat in the ring for a 10 minute talk, which at the beginning, there was no room for me and I just kept thinking, there will be room, there will be room. And then, Gina, you just sent me an email and there was room. So I got to do my talk. Besides all the content, I feel like the content is like the cherry on top. It's just everybody that I've met over the past two days has been amazing. Everyone that came up to me after my talk just gave me so much confidence. And when I have confidence, I have clarity. And I learned that through Strategic Coach, right? When you have confidence, you have clarity. When you have clarity, you have confidence. So, so many of the things that my partners and my hot seat helped me with have really invigorated me, and that's what I kind of use as my gauge after an event. Am I exhausted or am I energized and invigorated? And that's how I feel right now. So just thanks to everyone for making all the newbies feel so great.
