I've been in leadership for a long time and have made a lot of mistakes. I'm also celebrating all of the things I did right that made a positive difference in people's lives. 

How about you? What are you celebrating and what have you learned? Think about your leadership journey as you listen to my stories today.

Here's a glimpse::

1. Stop looking for permission to speak up
2. Ask directly for what you want
3. Just say "yes"

I'll talk about ways to move past your self-doubt, getting clear on what you want so you can ask for it, and how to seize opportunities that come your way.
