The Co-Co Panel “What’s Out and In for 2024”
On Feb 16 I had the honor of participating in The Co-Co’s panel, “WHAT’s OUT and WHAT’s IN for 2024”
Two of my points really resonated with the audience:
OUT: Hustling to Exhaustion | IN: Valuing Sleep and Rest
Taking a page from Jamie’s book on rest, we recognized the crucial role of rest and sleep as foundational pillars for long-term success and wellness.
OUT: Undervaluing Work & Taking on Misaligned Work | IN: Raising Prices & Saying No Swiftly
Affirming Jamie's advocacy for fair compensation, we recognized the dual importance of demanding what we're worth and embracing the power of 'no.' This dual approach ensures we commit only to work that meets our value standards and aligns with our core values and goals.
