Im looking forward to sharing some amazing stories with you this year and happy to kick off the year by introducing you to my friends Jessica, Kathleen and Susan.

I have been in awe to connect with women in our industry from around the country that are doing great things and arent afraid to toot their own horn a little.

This month, youre going to hear about a couple of colleagues I have known for a number of years and a couple of ladies who were recommended to me after their friends read about other women in this series and wanted to help them toot their own horns!

For our third installment highlighting women who are changing our industry, Im going to introduce three more three amazing ladies. These three are rock star recruiters from Guardian, MassMutual and Penn Mutual.

For our second installment in this series, I wanted you to hear from four women who come to the industry from entirely different backgrounds.

Over the next several months, you are going to be wowed over and over again with a new series called Whats the Good News, Ladies?

I find we so often start thinking about how to improve ourselves or start off the New Year right, but oftentimes we forget to go back to the basics of what got us to where we are today. Dream big, do more.

My biggest takeaway from a recent board meeting was the concept of Start Stop Continue, which was introduced to me by leadership coach, Whitney Siavelis.
