Hello Reader, I remember sitting in a meeting, hearing about a new project kicking off… and waiting. Waiting for someone to say, “Donna, you should lead this.” They didn’t. But I knew I could do it. I wanted to do it. I’d already done the heavy lifting on projects just like it. That’s when it hit me: no one was going to give me permission.I had to step up and claim it.
