Shelia affirmed what I know that I am. She helped me to see that second-guessing oneself isn’t helpful in a leadership role. She also demonstrated how focused self-reflection is important for achieving my goals. Key questions such as “What do you want?” and “What values do you have and are they aligned with what you’ve done so far?” focused me and simultaneously broadened my scope. I walked away knowing that I deserve joy and making the decision to consciously choose joy.
