I have been watching Mika Brzezinski for several years in the morning, and when she launched “know your value” it was an eye opening moment for me. I was post chemo and in the middle of radiation treatments, I was on sick leave from what I had anticipated would be my dream, final destination, job; the global leader in my field for a massive multi billion dollar company.
Turns out I didn’t really know my value, as I listened to Mika and others speak about “value” and how we see ourselves, I realized that I had let a toxic environment convince me that I was not valuable, that I was less than. It changed my trajectory. I didn’t ever want to go back to a place where I felt under valued or dismissed because of my gender, my age or my lack of an MBA. I had to feel valued within myself. It takes a lot of self-talk, but here I am with a new business just a year old, at 60 driving incredible results with a true value statement. I don’t work with clients who don’t value what we do. I won’t subject myself or my team to environments where they may feel dismissed. I highly recommend that you follow this organization:
