Takeaways

Maria 

1. As the communicator, it is your responsibility to clearly convey what you need or are asking from others.
2. Work-life harmony is being peaceful with the choices you are making, even if it is not always equal.

Kelly

1. Confidence is a commonality between champions -- and it can be developed over time with small habits and routine.
2. Remember to live life one day at a time and it keeps you from feeling overwhelmed and helps you stay on task.
