Letting Go
Friday, March 15, 2024
A few months ago I had the privilege of attending the first OWA Unplugged retreat. One of the topics was letting go of what no longer serves you. It was interesting to hear everyone's perspective and made me reflect on this phrase.
Want to learn more about OWA's fascinating membership? Our members are amazing, and we want you to get the inside scoop on what makes them so great. Meet OWA's most recent featured member — Holly Gough. After learning about Holly Gough, you can view past Member Spotlights here.
There are many reasons to become an individual contributor of the OWA. As one of our contributors states, "It truly makes me feel good knowing that I am doing a small part to support all of the incredible women of our industry, so many who have faced past adversity in a male-dominated business and who are now leaders in their own right. Knowing I am personally supporting these women is a true benefit unto itself."
