"I deserve this. I worked hard to get here. I can have it all."
These phrases are often a part of our thought process but not our plan.
This was a great conversation with Ashlee Atkins. Ashlee is quite the example of tenacity and focus. Ashlee is feeling comfortable and safe in her career and is passionate about serving others.
Ashlee is the President of the Greater Phoenix Urban League Young Professionals. This group is a national organization. Their mission is to connect others, encourage personal development and establish community service.
A native of Arizona, Ashlee has worked hard to accomplish every goal she put her mind and actions toward. She connected her Psychology degree with a desire to help others and landed in Human Resources. Ashlee committed to getting experience wherever she could. Her openness and work ethic connected her with the path she is on to building confidence in her own success. As we develop our plan, we often become our worst critic. Success can often be a hinderance to self-worth and approval. This conversation is relevant to all of us who continue to strive for more or those that are learning how to.
We have to do something. We need to connect to others and define ourselves by not only our occupation but who we are a people. Ashlee's advice for herself was to draw boundaries and give herself space to recognize her success. People are now tapping into what Ashlee has to share about her experience and knowledge. Ashlee's resilient allows her to speak to others and guide them to their path. Her advice to us is to "start somewhere - just show up and be present"
In this world of busyness and preservation, tap into why you are doing what you do and the resilience that you have. You were created for more. Enjoy our conversation and let out talking points be a guide for your next steps.
This show is about you - the listener and how you perceive the experiences you have. I am excited for you to get involved and share your story.
