If I Weren ’ t Doing This I ’ d be a soap opera actress — I grew up on the crazy stories and the dynamic , complex characters .
How I Motivate My Team By being transparent , being sincere and caring about their development . I want to know what their goals are and help them to achieve them .
Three Items I Can ’ t Live Without My phone , a great pair of shoes ( they have to be cute ) and a really cool watch .
The Best Advice I Ever Got Don ’ t ever think you ’ re that good or that smart . That ’ s when you ’ ll fall on your face .
If I Could Have a Superpower Time travel . I ’ d love to go back and forth in history , see what ’ s good and learn from what didn ’ t work .
My Next Goal Making sure that my kids are secure in their future . For all the work and the lack of sleep , my career ambitions are balanced by a desire to see my children fulfill their dreams and be happy .
