Description

When you finally reach the goal you’ve been working so hard for…what’s next?

In this episode, we tackle how to think about this tricky question.

If you’re a performer, creative leader, event organizer, athlete, writer, speaker, or goal-getter of any kind, this episode will resonate with you. Jessica reflects on the days and weeks after hosting The Ampersand Summit, and how to use the time after a peak experience to your advantage.

We talk about how…

  • Achievement is not the endpoint

  • To embrace the “in-between” time

  • To move from reflection to action

  • Regeneration (not just recuperation) might be what you need

  • Why Ampersands have a unique advantage

We want to hear from you!
