TOPICS Anne's Career Path What are the biggest challenges women leaders/executives/entrepreneurs face today in the C-Suite? and how to overcome these challenges Breaking Bad Ceilings and Mindset Shifts What can corporate executives learn from successful entrepreneurs and vice versa? 5 Questions Segment Q1. We know that the most successful and happy people have a morning routine, what do you do each morning or evening that sets your day up for success? I got up at 5:30 today and I just take a minute and check in with myself, what is my heart, my gut telling me? Am I Centered, Open, Resilient, and Energized? It's time for prayer. Then I'll have coffee, go for a walk, some exercise and listen to some music or with an app. Journaling and remain open to ideas. Q2. What's your definition of Success? Being happy and feeling fulfilled. It may not come naturally as we are often hard on ourselves. We need people around us to see the good stuff and to be in a place of gratitude. Q3. What's your definition of Happiness? Happiness does not depend on circumstances or happenings. You can choose happiness.  Happiness for me is a sense of wellbeing and joy where my heart is light. Q4. What do you know now that you wish you would have known 10 years ago? I was fearless but not very cautious 10 years ago. The naivety caused me some hardships and lost contracts, I would be a little bit savvier and holding a little back and playing my cards right. Learning to say, "Let me think about that." Q5. What do you think is the biggest issue facing busy professionals today? Burnout. The burnout crisis was the pandemic before the pandemic.  RESOURCES Connect with Anne on LinkedIn or Twitter https://www.annearvizu.com/   Affluent Minds, Book by Dr. Anne Arvizu My FICO Healthcare Businesswomen's Association https://www.biopharmadive.com/news/female-biotech-ceos-bio-efforts-diversity-goals/558604/ Join our email list and never miss another insight at https://www.pawsconsulting.com/shownotes Learn Strategies for Overcoming Overwhelm at https://www.pawsconsulting.com/overwhelm   "This program has been approved for 1 hour of continuing education credit for veterinarians and veterinary nurses/technicians in jurisdictions that recognize RACE approval."
