Introducing She Did What?!
Welcome to She Did What?!, a monthly newsletter devoted to reinvention, taking risks and bold experiments to boost personal and professional growth.
Like a lot of people, I wish I had made a list at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic of everything I wanted to accomplish, but I didn’t. I didn’t become fluent in French. I didn’t take this time to move my family to London for three months. I didn’t go back to school (again), but as I thought more about it, I found myself questioning why I couldn’t do some of those things now or continue to do them after COVID-19 ends. Why do I need this huge, life-altering event to experiment, to take risks? Then I realized I don’t.
I’ve always believed in the power of reinvention, in the humility and self-awareness it takes to give yourself an unbiased (or as unbiased as you can) look, evaluate your strengths, your weaknesses and where you want to go and make a plan. Every year, I go through my own self-evaluation, goal-oriented, reinvention process (more on that later), which I truly believe has been my secret sauce. It’s how I decided to get my MBA, how I decided to start my business and has led to countless people in my life asking, “She did what?”.
I don’t think there are enough people actually pulling back the curtain and saying, “Hey, here’s my process.” This isn’t a how-to guide. It’s not me sharing all my tricks for “making it.” Rather it’s about the work that went into it. So, I’m going to keep experimenting, taking risks, reinventing myself and talking to people who inspire me, but I want to take you all along on this journey with me.
Through a mixture of posts from me and interviews with incredible guest contributors, She Did What?! is where we’ll have authentic conversations about success, sure, but more so about what goes into that personal AND professional success. We’ll be sharing our roadmaps, our secret sauce to “She Did What?!” moments, in hopes that you find them helpful, entertaining and meaningful in your own life.
