How To Allow Your True Self To Shine The Balanced Lady Boss

“Let’s give it a whirl! If it works, great. If it doesn’t, we’ll do something else.”
That’s the boss woman attitude that helped my guests Jess Hunichen and Emily Ward to achieve massive success since they joined forces in 2015.
Today's epic with the co-founders of the Shine Talent Group is a special conversation that focuses on authenticity, standing in your truth, finding your voice, and using that voice to influence the world.
In a society that’s overly focused on physical attributes and vanity metrics, Jess and Emily focus on impact versus impressions and they’re passionate about letting your truth shine through.
In this episode we talk about centering your business around your values, why we need to celebrate our role in our success, embracing your unique approach in the boardroom, evolutions in love, and so much more.
There were so many gems in this conversation and I’m excited to hear your thoughts. Find me on Instagram @iamstaceyhines (https://www.instagram.com/iamstaceyhines/) and let me know what you think. Enjoy this epic!
