While in Rochester, NY we had the privilege of attending the local Women's Executive Forum. We tried to soak up as much wisdom as possible from the three incredible speakers. Listen in to hear the keys to success and ways to wake up tomorrow morning with a million dollars in you bank account. Just kidding. But you can learn how culture affects productivity, and how being successful isn't a solo journey. Enjoy!

Do you believe in life after golf (sung to the tune of Believe by Cher). Tracy Hanson played 15 consecutive years on the LPGA, but if you ask her about it, she'll likely tell you that golf is just one step in this journey we call life. Professional golf is a world where your identity can easily get tied to the scores you shoot. Play well and you're on top of the world; miss a few cuts and the self-doubt creeps in. In a society where we are measured, compared and evaluated, we have to learn to separate "what we do, from who we are." Listen in to hear what Tracy has to say on the subject.
