My career related resolution is to "Resolve to build your network". I have only dabbled at my online presence in LinkedIn and my memberships with PinkPetro and Women in Energy Network. I always tell myself I am too busy to update my profile or attend events. This year I will make Networking a priority and connect with new people. I have been "The Only Woman in the Room" for most of my career and it's only recently I have learned about the professional networking opportunities for women in our field. T

Rachelle,

I love your goal! I think we all benefit when we make a habit of stepping out of our comfort zone. That's how we find "Unknown unknowns". So exciting and I can't wait to hear what changes come for you from this new practice! Please keep us up to date.

Thus, I'd like to define my 2019 as the year I, "Say Yes to What Scares Me." I want to step out of my comfort zone professionally and personally and tackle new and exciting challenges. I want to not just step into -- but leap at big opportunities (no matter how big the stretch) and see just how far I can run...
