We Learn When We Get Uncomfortable By Leslie Sturgeon, WIW Founder I had been excited to get updated branding photos to capture the older, bolder version of myself (the other photos were so old and a different time in my life).

Six Words Were a Kick in the Stomach
September 21, 2023 By 10 Comments
Six Words Were a Kick in the Stomach By Leslie Sturgeon, WIW Founder "Why Don’t You Go Produce Something . . ." Six words. That’s it, six. Those few words hit me like a freight train when they came in a text a few years ago from someone close to me (and who is a fellow entrepreneur).

It's Not Just a Dress By Leslie Sturgeon, WIW Founder I decided to write this post today because it was on my mind all day - although some of you will think it is quirky LOL. But I can be quirky at times so here goes. There have been several times in my life that I made life-altering health decisions . . . the first was when I was 38 and had a total hysterectomy that catapulted me into menopause and ruined any chances of ever … [Read more...]

In the spirit of our conference theme, I would like you to consider what it means to be a rock star: Common traits. The traits of today’s rock stars include … [Read more...]

September 19, 2018 By 10 Comments
Hello, Leslie. Welcome to Your Life! . . . That is what my soul said to me. When 2018 started I had big lofty goals to leap tall buildings in a single bound.
