Welcome to the First Anniversary of She's Got Drive Podcast and this week I take you back to our first episode recorded live at the Apollo in May 21017. I am so proud of hosting this podcast and am grateful to all my guests and you for listening and supporting She's Got Drive. I hope you enjoy listening to this again or for many of you it will be for the first time.
In this episode, five wonderful women with five different professions join my panel at Women of the World Festival at the Historic Apollo in Harlem NY to have a conversation about their own experiences of success.
They share their personal stories and talk powerfully about how:
- you can create your success as your life changes and that you are the architect of your life
- being motivated by their upbringing and family commitments
- to meet a new version of yourself
- Negative motivators can be a positive motivator
- your access to success is to keep moving
- success can also be a burden
- knowing can be an obstacle
- life is about learning lessons
- important is self-care
