Everyone Needs a Yoda: Reflections On Turning One Year Old

This month, Pink Stiletto Coaching (PSC) turns ONE YEAR OLD! In human years, that’s a big deal. In small business years, that’s a lifetime. In honor and celebration of that fabulous milestone, I thought I would offer some reflections and some of my “lessons learned” from the first year.
