Mesha says, "INFRARED VISION was born out of my personal pain, confusion, and passion to achieve the best version of myself.  After the loss of my one and only child, inability to conceive again, several layoffs resulting in a career re-invention, divorce, financial, and personal challenges, I spent years aimlessly going through the motions with no optimism, goals, or direction for the future. I realized that my full potential was more than I was physically doing. I was no longer living -  I was just existing."  Infrared Vision (IV) will help you move from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset with a Visionprint to guide you to truly LIVING and not just EXISTING.

This discussion was held back in April at the beginning of quarantine and much of the unknown surrounding COVID-19. We lost the footage due to a technology issue but thankfully was able to recover it. There is so much valuable information here that's still relevant today. As a healthcare professional, Mrs. Clark-Bardonille, gave us a candid view inside of her world dealing with COVID-19 and managing healthcare professionals. She was able to provide her personal expertise surrounding questions related to masks, social distancing, and other areas related to the virus.  Please listen to this segment and be reminded to take the virus seriously, wear your mask, consider your family members, stay home as much as possible, and remember our healthcare workers.  Thanks to Meedie for your time and expertise! Thanks to the participants for engaging and asking thoughtful questions that people need to hear.  Thanks to you for listening!!!  Please provide feedback and any suggestions for topics to yolanda@leadbeyondmeasure.com
