So honored to be included in this article along with powerhouses @cmon.letsrally @wishcraftworkshop @mommycon @bucktownmusic @tkphotographychicago @honeybeeweddings and @tekhniwovens #Repost @cmon.letsrally (@get_repost) ・・・ Many, many (oh so many) years ago I had the fortune of taking an amazing class with Moshe Rubinstein, Ph.D. at the @uclaanderson School of Management. He introduced me to the idea of a β€œthinking team” and I was so thoroughly convinced of its potential that I implemented a program at @sonypictures where I was employed at the time. Fast forward to around 2015– I hadn’t seen a corporate board room for 8 years and, as an entrepreneur, had the need for a deep connection with other businesswomen. Named in honor of Professor Rubinstein, I created the Thinking Team mastermind featured in this @incmagazine article by Kate Rockwood. What started as one has grown to many in the @cmon.letsrally mastermind program and I am so grateful to this group of women for trusting me, giving it a go and showing up for one another any and every day.
