Check Out These Highlights:
After years in corporate sales and marketing, Vicki O’Neill realized she was no longer excited about the climb. A spark of curiosity (and a few freelance projects) led to a bold leap into entrepreneurship—and eventually to helping other women do the same. In this episode, Vicki shares her story of building KenKay Marketing, launching the YES Effect movement, and why the scariest things often lead to the best growth.
We explore how saying yes (even when you're scared) builds momentum, why women over 40 have powerful stories to share, and how introverts can thrive with video by shifting their mindset. Vicki also shares her favorite camera confidence tips, her passion for YouTube, and the importance of building a support network when you go out on your own.
