Inspiration is everywhere—friends, family, colleagues, storeowners, the person leading the event you're attending or even people you walk by on the street. Everyone has a story worth telling, and it's my self-proclaimed job to get the word out there! I am passionate about inspiring others to follow their dreams and do whatever makes them happy. The world will be a better place when it's filled with happy, fulfilled people who are positively contributing to the betterment of society. I hone my creative marketing, writing and social media skills as the Marketing and Communications Manager at ThinkWise Consulting in order to share how leadership development can transform a company from one with employees who get the job done to one with employees who are inspired to go above and beyond. If you spend 8 hours (or more!) every day at the office—you might as well make it count!On nights and weekends, I work on my passion project—a blog I co-founded called People with Panache. I have the chance to meet and interview amazing Midwestern women, and share all of the wonderful, important things they're doing to positively contribute to the community around them. It's inspiring to me, and I hope to all of our readers too! (peoplewithpanache.com)
