It was so fun to do a Q&A with Women in Retail Leadership Circle and to talk a bit about career and experiences. We talked about leadership values, confidence and creating boundaries. Sometimes, as women it can be a big challenge to maintain a work/life balance and we can sometimes struggle with the confidence to feel like we belong in the room. I'm always looking for new tips and would love to poll my connections: -What practices or boundaries have you implemented in your personal life to create more work/life balance? -What advice would all of you give to the next generation of female leaders?
