May 2022 "You get in life what you have the courage to ask for" - Oprah Winfrey
President's Message
The quote above resonates with me for a number of reasons but primarily because fear is real and courage is hard - but we have to push past it and be intentional. We have to ask for what we want! First quarter is behind us - second quarter provides another opportunity to make it happen – bigger and better than ever and get what we ask for!
Here's my list of "asks" for Q2:
Ask for the deal. Ask for the renewal. Ask for clarification. Ask for a seat at the table.
What's on your list?
Let’s go NAWBO GDC! Nicole
