Do you ever ask yourself when the right time to move on to the next thing is? If you’re anything like me then you're strategizing about this all the time when it comes to your career opportunities.

Something I struggle with as a woman in a position of leadership is dealing with things authentically when they go south. One of the main functions of running a business is problem solving. Things are always going wrong especially when a company is coming out of the start-up phase and into growth mode. In my business, this fact has one hundred percent rang true.

HBIC is an acronym which stands for: Head Boss In Charge The definition of an HBIC: She who takes ownership of and has her sh*t together. Somedays I fully embody her, and other days I fall short.
