What is the best advice you have ever received?
Some of the best advice I have ever received was from our CEO, Nancy McKinstry. Early on in my career Nancy talked to me about how to integrate family and work life. She said that every day there will be competing priorities, and some days, one will take precedence over the other. The hope is the days the two aspects of your life conflict are few and far between! This advice has helped me and my husband raise my daughter who goes to college in the fall.
