EXPOSURE and EXPERIENCES

Exposure and experiences are what bring people further in their life. I speak on the road quite often ( although currently I am gaining frequent flyer ZOOM miles) and typically I try to maximize my trips and time , whenever possible I try to add value to the community I visit either by speaking to students at a school or university, or specific groups like to Girls Scout troupes. I started doing this because I believe if you can see it you can be it and not all of us have had the same exposure. So many of the students I meet and so far all of the Girl Scouts I have spoken to about becoming their own CEO, when I ask how many have met a female CEO, no hands go up. When I was growing up all the young girls wanted to be secretaries, teachers , nurses or ,flight attendants, these are all honorable professions, but the point is, it was all we were exposed to. If all of us in leadership chose, and it’s always a choice, to leave every place a little better, for young minds to see they have several choices when it comes to their future, we would all go further and be more fulfilled in our lives.
