Hidden In Plain View, Lessons Learned with Eileen McDargh | Pt. 2

Inspiring Women with Betty Collins

How can reflecting on our failures and taking small steps toward change be beneficial to our personal and professional growth?

I again have the pleasure of hosting the incredible Eileen McDargh, author of "Gifts From The Mountain" and renowned keynote speaker. Eileen returns to share how reflecting on what we've overlooked can lead to small yet impactful positive changes. She takes us her personal journey of reconnecting with her passion for playing the piano and the modest but steady steps she took towards this pursuit.

Together, we'll uncover the gems of her experiences, and I'll share my insights as a CPA and business owner who thrives on collaborating with other women for stellar achievements.

I talk with her about the trek that inspired Eileen to write her book – a demanding mountain adventure filled with peril, demanding choices, and invaluable lessons about lightening life's load and being aware of hidden hazards.

Eileen's moving reflection on a storm in the Rockies and the hopeful appearance of the moon thereafter reminds us of the necessity to pause, reframe challenges positively, and acknowledge every stride forward.
