Bravery and Meaningful Work

Public relations executive Aimee Stern believes that bravery and meaningful work are purposely intertwined. “When you heard the process that they went through to get there, it was painful and it was my process, too. It’s like putting aside everything you’ve ever been taught and saying: I’m really good at this. And, it all came down really to the biggest problem people have which is self-doubt.” By all measures, Aimee Stern was a successful executive. Her business portfolio was profitable and scaling. Regrettably, her high quality work often benefitted people she didn't respect. That's when she channeled bravery from within to do good and do well in her professional career.
