Feeling the love...

January 12th was our Business and Economic Development Day. I was interested in the “Women on the Move” panel discussion. Two local business women shared their stories of owning their own businesses. One piece of advice I heard that was particularly inspiring was to think, “Everyone here loves me” whenever you walk into a room. This will boost your confidence and allow you to handle whatever situation you are faced with.

I used this advice recently when I had to give a last minute presentation at work. I was not feeling
100% prepared but rather than panic I thought, “Everyone here thinks I’m awesome and they will understand if I don’t give the best presentation”. My presentation wasn’t perfect but it came across a lot better than it would have if I hadn’t felt the” love”.
