Last Wednesday night, Girls in Tech Boise hosted a great event with Life Coach and Mrs. Western Idaho International, Lorene Rasmussen.
Lorene brought chocolate, door prizes, and lots of inspiration for living intentional lives and goal setting. Along with providing us with useful guidance on reaching for our goals, she shared her very personal story of growing up "without a coach" and what a difference it made in her life to have people who believed in her and pushed her to become who she is today.
We were challenged by Lorene to be purposeful about the story we are creating in our own life and to make sure that our goals match our personal values. She gave us the tools and analysis needed to properly assess our value system and to use that as a guide for personal decision making. Lorene also shared her personal journey as Mrs. Western Idaho International and some of the many goals/pursuits she has had over the past years.
The event was interactive, lots of fun, and very helpful as well as we reflect on where we are in our careers in 2009 and what we hope to achieve for the remainder of this year. Girls in Tech Boise members shared their personal strengths, weaknesses, and goals and it was a great time to connect with our fellow women in technology.
Thank you Lorene and The Leadership Advisors Group for so generously donating your time to Girls in Tech Boise! It was quite a treat to get to spend an evening with a Life Coach and we appreciate you!
