As a girl, I was taught to work hard, never be lazy, always do the work first (the work is never done) and get straight A’s – no matter what might be happening at home.<\/p>\n

This discipline served me well as I became an exceptional high school student, musician, volunteer, and college grad, and eventually got my master’s degree summa cum laude. I’m not much different from so many high-achieving women out there. We are determined, hard-working achievers. We lead big corporations with rigor and grace; we can be single parents who raise respectful, caring sons and daughters; we keep a clean house, exercise, eat right, and take care of our aging and dying parents. We are strong, committed, resilient, and smart. Especially and always, we are hard-working.<\/p>\n

But do we know that it’s OK to pull up a chair on the porch and sit and watch the sunset? <\/em><\/p>\n

Do we know that it’s OK to let the kids buy lunch or to delegate and empower that junior leader instead of us pulling an all-nighter to get it right for the Board? <\/em><\/p>\n

Do we know that there’s nothing more to prove \u2013 not even to ourselves? <\/em><\/p>\n

On March 8, we celebrated International Women’s Day. I want to acknowledge and honor all the hard-working, high-achieving female leaders. Workers and team members \u2013 especially those who give of themselves, donate, and support causes to help their fellow humans! And I want to challenge each of us to take some time to enjoy that sunset, delegate, and be just a little bit lazy on a fairly regular basis. And to all the high-achieving, awesome role models out there (you know who you are), I say a resounding and heartfelt “thank you!”<\/p>\n
