In reflection on 2020, I am struck by the amount of change, uncertainty and opportunities created. This year has provided an opportunity for growth and reflection on my leadership style.
I started this year with a plan to improve my personal and professional life:

1. Run one 5k per month with my husband having a goal to progressively get better (speed wise). I made it to March.
2. Read two books a month with the objective to write one blog post a month on how it could improve my leadership skills. I made it to April.

When we decided to move from Atlanta to Dallas, I made a decision to update my plan to provide myself some flexibility and give myself a break. 

1. My 5k run turned into running consistently at least 5 days a week and signing up for the Peachtree 10k virtually in November.
2. My read 2 books per month turned into listen to one webinar or podcast on leadership. 

I like to stick to a plan and make some minor adjustments, but this year forced me to start-stop for months-reflect-start again. 2020 has taught me many leadership lessons that I wasn’t expecting. I learned to: expect the unexpected, be open to new opportunities, be thankful for everything, don’t take health and wellness for granted, help others, be selfless, be bold and most importantly that everything will be ok!
