A Few Golden Nuggets:

• Growth happens when we step into the unknown—even when we're not fully prepared. Becky reminded us that we often think something will be easy until we actually do it. We prepare, we plan, but it's in the doing that we really learn what we're capable of and where we still need to grow.
• The world is changing fast. The real advantage will be staying adaptable and self-aware. Becky's S.T.E.E.P. Method—Skills, Tools, Education, Experience, and Personal Qualities—is more than a career tool. It's a growth framework for life in an ever-changing world.
• Emotional intelligence and resilience are the ultimate skills of the future. Becky emphasized that being talented isn't enough. It's your character—your emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and your ability to follow through—that determines long-term success.

This episode is for every growth-minded leader, overwhelmed achiever, and purpose-driven dreamer who knows there's more ahead, but isn't sure where to start.
