Seminar 2018 Reflections

#MyMKLife…it’s a hashtag Mary Kay suggested we use a couple of years ago. It’s handy.  It covers a wide range for me.  As I sit in the plane  from Dallas to NYC, and home to Burlington VT, I get to reflect on my MK life. I am returning from the big Mary Kay convention...

Nan on Confidence

Nan on Confidence

I wrote the below article on Confidence for Mary Kay in 2018.     What does confident mean to me?  Sometimes, it’s as natural as breathing.  Other times?  Phew!  Why do I feel fear?   Am I afraid of being judged?  Perhaps.  Am I afraid of looking stupid? ...
