It's almost time for the turkey!  I'm a huge Christmas person, but I can never get enough of the incredible Thanksgiving food which includes my stuffing with an Italian flare!  We are talking sausage, green and red peppers, red onions, tomatoes, olives, cheese and a whole lotta love. (Feel free to email me for the recipe; everyone at my house fights for leftovers at my house each year!)  I'm truly thankful for the opportunity to meet so many incredible women in our industry each month and thankful for those of you who continue to take the time to make introductions.  This month, you get to meet Alycia, Naama and Kalinda, as they share their incredible stories of adapting to changing roles and reinvention.

Alycia Riedl, Mercer

"This year has been one of significant change and pride for me. I was a health and benefits consultant at a large consulting firm with clients and colleagues who I loved, but my soul told me that it was time for me to take on a new challenge and opportunity for growth. My new role at Mercer is as a Client Relationship Manager for some of our largest global clients across all of our lines of business (health, wealth and career). It has been an awesome change and I love what I am doing now; however, it is also humbling to no longer be a subject matter expert. It is my job to build trust and credibility with clients, understand their business, their strategic objectives and challenges and align that back to ways that we can help them solve their problems and plan for the future.
