Paying Tribute to Great Women Leaders

Considering the recent loss of one of the greatest women leaders of our time, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, many of us have taken the time to reflect on what made her so great. Let's pay tribute to her and to other great women that we learn from all the time. What women do you look to as the leaders in your life? What impact do you want to make in the world and what steps do you need to take to make it? Believe in the possibility and the impact we can all make together.

I'm not just throwing spaghetti...

During our team meeting, I made the remark that I felt like I was doing so many different things in the business that I was throwing spaghetti at the wall. My team member quickly corrected me and said she disagreed. She said everything I was doing was in alignment with my brand and we had a lot of strategy behind our spaghetti.

Did You Write it Down?

Slater Success is built on the calendar process and strategic planning. In the past, I was planning one, two, even five years forward.

Thank you, Universe.

Belief. Follow-through. Spirit. These three elements are key components when looking to achieve results. Belief in what you want to accomplish is first and foremost. When we set intentions, when we write down goals, we put out into the Universe what we want. But if we don’t feel we are actually able to reach those goals, we tend to feel resistance when it comes down to step two…

What's Your Next Move in 2020?

2020. Some businesses panicked. Some businesses prospered. Some businesses paused. Some businesses pivoted. Some did one or all of these in the last few months. As we enter July, we also enter the last 6 months of this curveball year.

Give Me A Break!

Memorial Day Weekend is usually a time when our home is filled with family and friends for my daughter’s birthday. This year looked very different, as we were only able to have a few family members over, outside so we could socially distance, but we still had one, amazing party!
