#13 Speaking Your Truth Instead of Thinking Small

Today, I interview Meredith Bell who shares an important childhood story and the fears of judgment, rejection, and criticism she has experienced and carried with her. She remembers being afraid to "speak her truth". As a professional adult, she later realized that the common thread within each of her projects was her tendency to think smaller than she should have. She has since realized that she can do more, perform better, and think BIG to accomplish her goals and make a difference!___________________Meredith Bell is co-founder and President of Performance Support Systems, a global software company providing assessment and development tools for the workplace.
