Action Items From the Hosts

Maria: Reach out to someone you interact with personally or in business who you do not have a great relationship with -- and “think outside the box” on ways to improve that connection and build trust in the relationship.

Kelly:  Find one thing in your life that is not authentic and get rid of it or find a way to infuse your own authenticity into it so you feel comfortable and confident.
