Happy Halloween! In the spirit of the season, today I want to share 3 of my favorite witchy and woo-woo tools for strengthening your leadership and business. I love sharing these kinds of tools with my clients because they’re such a powerful antidote to traditional business thinking and decision-making. Most lessons in entrepreneurial growth and career…
When was the last time you unlocked a new level of success in your business……and instead of feeling fantastic and proud of yourself, you nose-dived into anxiety and self-doubt?
