Transparency, whether it be with a spouse, significant other, family member, friend, business partner, customer or prospect, is one of my top priorities. The last few months have been challenging as I’ve reflected a lot about transparency in and around my life. I’m not sure these challenges are over but a brighter light seems to be shining at the end of the Novartis tunnel. Staying true to who I am and keeping my priorities in place, which are my children (always #1), living a healthy lifestyle, doing the right thing, treating others as I would like to be treated, growing my business, nurturing my career and of course being transparent, are top of mind.
