DESCRIPTION
During a monthly meeting for the Society of Women Engineers - Eastern Nebraska Chapter, I was asked to inspire and entertain 20 women. Sharing how to make changes in their own lives to enhance them where needed with questions, honesty, and energy were a big part of the evening. Each attendee also received a copy of my fist book, "It's Time: Changing Your Life Starts Today".

I have the privilege of inspiring people by giving them
permission to search for and find their best selves. I
teach them how to use their inner compass as they
travel a new journey while passionately encouraging
them as we together develop the right attitude, to find
the positive, and to challenge themselves every
day. Growing becomes their way of life as they open up
and begin to listen to the voice of their dreams and follow their hearts.

Let’s test a theory…Write one complete sentence describing something you have achieved.
@ItStartsToday Constant Change, LLC © 2014 32
Who wants to share?
• We don’t start the sentence with “I”• We don’t want to come off as bragging
• We hide our achievements (remember that girl)• We acknowledge someone else’s achievement• We pass the buck – give someone else credit
• We lessen the achievement
…but that’s not the WORST we do…
