I mentor every chance I can get! Relationship building doesn't always come easy, so I encourage mentees to schedule "informationals" with people in positions they're curious about. I didn't hear that term until my 30s, but it was a game changer and it's imperative that the next generation has access to a diverse group of influential people on their journey. I also talk to fellow executives about their succession plans, and how crucial it is that we are intentional and passionate about creating opportunities for the next generation.

I let women know that all you have to do is start. I publicly fail, change my mind, and pivot all the time because I want to show women that you don't ever have to be stuck to just one thing. We've been raised in a society that puts traditional careers on a pedestal, and while traditional careers are great and needed, it's not the end all, be all to success. I want more women to utilize their God-given creativity to services others. He didn't give us this talent to keep it all to ourselves.
