“As a woman you only have one heart, and it’s this heart that holds your authentic self and your values. The challenge is to live in such a way that these can be lived out in each and every one of the roles you fulfil. Sometimes our greatest significance is not in what we do, but simply in who we are and what we model to other people. If you’re a woman living according to your values and pursuing your purposeful calling, I can guarantee that you’ve inspired people along your journey, whether you’re aware of it or not.” ~ Dr Martie Lancellas: CEO Strong Foundation ~
