The antidote to self-sabotage: Permission Slips

February 5, 2020

As I walked in to facilitate day two of the amazing but exhausting Dare to Lead™ program, I said to myself,  I give myself permission to not socialize before we start the workshop.  I give myself permission to not put my concern for other people’s feelings above my need to mentally prepare.  I walked into […]
