What’s the good news, ladies? Springtime(ish)

Not that you want to hear me talk about the weather but come on … is it spring time or winter?  Last week in NYC was great, high 60s and 70s and then yesterday there was snow in the area!!!  But as we look to spring for new opportunities, in person conferences and summer on the horizon, I see many people getting motivated.  Whether it’s with a new workout routine, marketing strategies or plans for the future, these two ladies definitely inspire me to look for my “next.”  The stories that they share are a good reminder that no matter what is going on in the world, you can make your little corner of it a better place.

I had a mentor who once told me “Every day we choose to become better or worse.”  I’d like to introduce you to Jolene and Julie, both incredible women who are choosing the former and striving for greatness along the way.

Jolene Bibian, CEO & Founder, Mills + Maple Insurance Solutions

“This year, I brought on my 100th small group account! Emerging from the pandemic with my employer clients and their employees is something I’m tremendously proud of. It was a time of sink or swim for a lot of people, including myself. Having just launched my company in 2019, seeing how impactful my role was to HR professionals and employers is both humbling and motivating. I know that I can not only survive hard times, but I can thrive and be a light to lead others as well.”
