Case in point... Last Friday, I was slated to attend a local women's leadership conference (complete with inspiring women speakers, fabulous amenities and a gourmet lunch). I had actually planned on meeting a dear friend/mentor there. Problem was (in my mind), I had way too much to do at the office. An abundance of to do's and deadlines loomed.
Then, I realized: Hey, I'm in charge, here. I got this. There's no rule saying I can't take a needed day of rest from it all to re-charge. So, I did.
Glad that's the way I proceeded, too. So very much that was presented that day resonated with me on a personal level. Plus, it was so soul-enriching to spend time with my sweet friend/mentor.
I broke the rules a bit more that day... During the networking breakout session, she and I slipped off to an onsite Starbucks to sip tea while supporting and mentoring each other on work-related matters. Yup, I broke the rules on a couple of fronts; quite effectively, too.
