Later this week, the world will celebrate International Women’s Day. What’s that you ask?
In short, it’s a “strong call to #PressforProgress motivating and uniting friends, colleagues and whole communities to think, act and be gender inclusive.”
What better way to celebrate and observe this day than to welcome to the show two internationally successful businesswomen, each with about 30 years of real world of experience.
As it turns out, they have a brand new book out this week as well. It’s called Remember Who You Are: Achieve Success, Create Balance, Experience Fulfillment.
They are Paula Brown Stafford and Lisa T. Grimes, former competitors turned colleagues, friends and, eventually, co-owner so Habergeon, they consulting company.
I hope you’ll join us as we dive into success, balance, and fulfillment. Oh, and to enter to win a copy of their new book, share the tweet embedded below, and leave a comment at the bottom of this post as to why you’d like a copy. The answer I deem most compelling will win. 😉
