Why did Joanna Bailey Spearhead COTERIE ?
I believe that we ’ re all designed for greatness . Part of what separates those who grow into that and those who don ’ t is community . As individuals , we have a responsibility to develop a healthy compass for what we desire in life , and then act on that proclivity . As leaders , I believe we also have a responsibility to create space for others to be successful . I have been blessed by people who have made space for me in my personal and professional life . I reached a point where I realized that it was time for me to do the same for others . It ’ s more than one woman working to create equal
