It's that time people! My favotie time of the year: March Madness (MIZ, Baby!)  Just something about it makes you believe in miracles and know that anything can happen; underdogs can cause havoc and legacies can walk away with hat in hand.  No matter what happens, it's so much fun if you're a sports fan.  Having grown up in the midst of "Friday Night Lights," many communities love our college teams and honestly base our dating prospects on fandom, at times.  But when it comes to sports, it can be such a lesson on leadership if you pay attention.  My good friend, Robin Pingeton, is head coach of the University of Missouri girls basketball team. She is such an example of leadership in action.  "Players don't care how much you know until they know how much you care," Pingeton says. "My goals are to compete for championships, but my passion is to impact people's lives and make a positive influence. It goes way beyond the sport.  Sooner or later, the ball's going to stop bouncing. What's going to last are the relationships."  Isn't this what we strive to do this in our industry every day?  Of course, we want to win more clients, but how we make our clients feel and how we directly impact their lives is what can turn good into great.  

These three women in our industry that I recently met are turning good into great every single day.  Their lives have shifted along the way and what they set out to do career-wise has grown and evolved along with them.  Meet Sarah, Dawn and Sarah and be inspired by their journeys!
