by Jessica Ehler By the time this article comes out we will be into the new year. How many of you have already ditched your New Year’s Resolution? Most people, around 80 percent, will fail by February. Why is this? After years of helping people with goal setting and coming up with lofty changes myself, I have concluded that it’s either because you don’t really want it or  you came up with a great goal, but a not-so-great plan on how to execute that goal. For all my current “failures” out there, I want to first address the crazy amount of pressure that comes with the new year and to challe ..read more

  A New Year dawns, and please join me in saying a big YAHOOOO! I’m honestly not sure we’ve ever been so glad to ring the bells and say goodbye to a year. But during 2020, like it or not, we all learned, grew, and changed, both personally and professionally.  For me, I learned how to cook as well as how to say “you are on mute” in fifteen different ways. Out with the old, in with the new, and, with that in mind, I asked a truly amazing group of women to look back at the year and share with you the biggest lessons they learned to take forward into 2021 or what could be left behind fo ..read more

What does it mean for you to be a trailblazer?   “I think to even be considered a trailblazer is an honor. I hold that in a high regard because I feel responsible for those who are looking up to me for guidance and the vision that they, too, can be CEOs or presidents of their own companies. I do not feel like I’m saying anything unique, but I make sure that I’m giving back, so that others don’t make the same mistakes I’ve made. And hopefully, they can find the path to success a little easier than I did.”   What have been your biggest motivators as you take on this challenge?   ..read more

Sam Verma –CEO at Peoples Processing When Kamala Harris was elected vice president of the United States, the world saw the enormous glass ceiling being shattered. In her historic acceptance speech, she said, “I may be the first woman to hold this office. But I won’t be the last.” Those optimistic words are what will inspire many more women to follow suit, not just in the political milieu, but in general, to assume positions of power. That is also likely to happen sooner with NASDAQ too pushing for the more than 3,000 companies listed on its U.S. stock exchange to make their boardrooms more div ..read more
