When you hear the word "belonging", what do you think of?  Maybe you think of wedding pros, because we're welcoming, ambitious, kind-hearted, and badass business owners.  Maybe it's finding your people to share your goals and dreams with - it's that positive feeling we get when we feel respected.

As a business owner, I want my team, my clients, my vendor partners, and you listening to this to have that supported positive feeling around you.

So how can you boost belonging on your team - in your work and in your life?
