I am honored to be the 2017-18 President of WEPAN, the Women in Engineering ProActive Network. I know I follow a brilliant group of Past Presidents who have gone before me. Incredible high heels to fill. Many thanks to Dr. Mary Juhas and Dr. Teri Reed who have mentored me this past year. I look forward to good things. #WEPANForum2017

What we believe dictates the direction of our lives. Our beliefs about work and success determine the choices we make. Just as with other areas of our lives, some of the things we are told to believe about success are not always true. Indeed, some philosophies have grown into wildly popular and distorted, closely held myths. Common myths about professional success are:

• “Thanks to multitasking, more always gets done in less time.”
• “Life changes can be made when everything else gets done.”
• “People who manage their jobs well don’t experience high levels of stress.”

When these and other myths about success are released from the mind, there is room to create positive personal definitions for success. Examples might include:

• I deserve rest and peace in my life.
• I work best when I am under less ongoing stress.
• Maintaining outside interests make me more positive and productive at work.

Identify, embrace and follow your own positive personal truths.  Actions that follow will often result in the discovery of unique solutions that are specifically designed for you.
