What’s the best advice you’ve received? Let the force be with you.

 “Best Advice I Ever Got” is apart of the mentorship theme for the 7th annual Women In Leadership Foundation luncheon held at Vancouver’s Fairmont Pacific Rim this Wednesday May 2nd.

Any women’s network is a powerful force and it’s alway impressive to see the growth and strength of these groups to support fellow ladies to go out-of-their comfort zone and into greatness. I have to give a shout out to my pal Marinder Dhaliwal (@dhaliwalmk) for her dedication to support and encourage women to take on all mighty roles in the workplace as well as jump start their entrepreneural journey. 

Approximately, 300 talented, successful, brilliant (and yes, I can go on) will be lunching and hearing from inspirational women in “different industries share their journeys of leadership, how they overcame obstacles along the way, and the best tips for success they have ever received.”

So, what’s the best advice you’ve ever received? In a recent Facebook poll conducted by Women In Leadership, the top advice liked among the community were:

• Do what you say you are going to do!  [WINNING ADVICE]
• Focus on quality and integrity of your work not competition
• You can have it all but not always all at the same time
• Success comes from your certain passions – be certain and committed
• Leave your ego at the door [and really listen]

I look forward to tomorrow’s luncheon and hearing from keynote speaker, Wendy Lisogar-Coccha, Chair, Vancouver Board of Trade; CEO, Century Plaza Hotel and Absolute Spa Group.

Ladies – may the force be with you. Follow your passion and the best advice you’ve ever received.
