Put your own oxygen mask on first
If you’ve taken a flight you’ll be familiar with this advice in the safety announcement: “Put your oxygen mask on first before helping others.” The cabin crew are serious about this – they mean even before you help your children, which goes against every parent’s instincts! […]
What will success look like for you in 2022?
Success comes in many shapes and sizes, personal and professional. It can be a big moment or a small step. I wrote recently about the importance of celebrating our wins and in this final article of the year I’d like to ask: What will success look like for you in 2022? And how are you making it happen? […]
Why You Should Celebrate Every Success
Being able to declare ‘I did it!’ is a pretty great feeling! I recently graduated from the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program and after an intense 14-week endeavor that stretched me in ways I didn’t expect, it felt so good to celebrate success.
