Showing up and doing your best work is an important goal for your career. But, we live in a culture that values overwork. Managing up and setting boundaries means respecting your time — and asking others to respect it, too.

Based on her insights from helping organizations accomplish their most important goals and her own experiences as a founder, Whitney offers actionable tips to help new founders make their visions for their business into reality. 

Too often, we are made to feel like we’re wasting time or being unproductive if we’re not actively working. Whitney considers personal enjoyment to be one of the key pillars to success in life — not only in your career. 

Protecting your mental health is so important because if you’re not taking care of yourself, you can’t fully show up in all the areas of your life that matter to you most. Along with three other members of the NationSwell Council, Whitney shared advice for how to center mental health all year long and build healthy habits into your daily life.

Being an entrepreneur and growing your business takes a lot of hard work, but that doesn’t mean it has to be without joy. We forget how important it is to put joy at the center of our lives. Yet joy is the thing that will help you build the life of your dreams!

Relationships play a crucial role in our lives and our overall success, happiness, and fulfillment. We may not realize it, but we all have goals for our relationships. Getting clarity around those goals is so important because of the huge impact our relationships have on our lives. Goals for those most important relationships are one of the key reasons people want to work with Whitney and her program, Take Back Your Time. In a recent post for Business 2 Community, an online community for business professionals to share their real-life experiences and expertise through thought leadership, Whitney shared a powerful story about how the loss of an important relationship led one of her clients to transform her entire life.
