What is the biggest mistake you would tell your younger self to avoid?: Listen to both your heart and mind. Be less concerned about what others think

Is there a book you can recommend that would be valuable to read for someone starting out in business?: Becoming a Resonant Leader by Annie McKee and Richard Boyatzis. Using Emotional Intelligence, resonant leaders find ways to connect with others to build strong, trusting relationships
How do you achieve balance between your professional life and personal life?: It’s important to establish and maintain boundaries. When we indicate our personal time is critical to recharging, most will respect those boundaries. If they do not, perhaps it’s time for a change
