Kami Guildner: From 2020 to January 6 in the US and into 2021 – Episode 181

This is a different sort of Extraordinary Women Radio today. It's a solo episode. I had recorded this episode earlier this week, and it was all set to go out this morning on Thursday January 7.<br /><br />However, in the midst of the happenings at our nation’s capital yesterday, I could not in good conscience release this episode – which I feel is still relevant as we step into 2021, without first recording a new intro to reflect on what happened in our country yesterday.<br /><br />So you will get two parts. The first six minutes, I will warn you: I get political. This is not a political podcast. But today, as a woman in America, I could not leave this unsaid. We have big problems to solve in our nation and the only way we can do this is together. Today I have to take a stance and give voice to my sadness, my anger and my disgust for what happened in Washington DC yesterday - for what has happened in our nation in the past four years.<br /><br />The second part of this episode, I move into a solo episode of  my own reflection on 2020, and how we as women and entrepreneurs can step up and lead in 2021. It's time.<br /><br />In this Episode:<br /><br /> Tune back how 2020 is filled with wisdom, gifts, growth, and expansion despite the crazy times<br /> How 2020 is not all about pivot but shift and expansion—not only for Kami but also in her community<br /> Growing a business in a downturn<br /> Expanded and meaningful connections despite limited physical interactions<br /> The power of following your intuition<br /> How 2020 magnified circumstances that were long overdue to shift<br /> Leadership as the center focus in 2021 (Lead like a woman with grit and grace)<br /><br />It took courage to produce this episode, especially today's added intro. I love talking about entrepreneurs, women and all the topics we usually cover here. Today, it needed to be something more. Thank you for tuning in.<br /><br />May you find some fire, inspiration and step into this new year with purpose. Thank you being a part of my tribe a
