She is one of the most influential women in my life. She trained me. This is quite a gift. Her skills, her dedication to craft, her taste, her constant search for knowledge, her business acumen. I made darn sure that I "picked up what she was putting down." EVERYTIME!
If I didn't know how to do something, fine, figure it out. No one knows everything. She would teach me or turn me in the right direction so that I could figure it out. So now I have a zeal for learning. I don't panic about not knowing how to do something. I tell my clients, "don't worry. I will figure it out. We'll make it work." My clients have never left to find someone more knowledgeable. They appreciated my confidence. You know, its scary saying that! But telling the truth is SO much better than hiding under the weight of deception and a huge lack of self confidence. I learned that kind of courage from her.
I am so excited today, because I am going out to lunch with my mentor, DOREEN LEAF!
