Katharine’s Word: Steadfast
When we think of ambition or when we think of growth, when we think of doing great things, there seems to be an energy attached to what we imagine that might look like, an intensity. But what I love about the conversation that you're about to discover is that it's possible to be all those things and to do it in a way that looks like you and that feels right to you, and that's what Katherine does.
