One of the biggest steps to fully #KnowYourself is to find out what your strengths are. Despite years of experience in her career, Desirée Patno still chooses to absorb as much knowledge as she can about multiple fields to shine and bolster her skills as a mentor and leader.

Principle #5 Know Yourself: Be authentic and lead in a way that is true to you. Own your unique talents and strengths, and empower those around you.

As women, we need to recognize who we are, know our worth, and fight for it! This is a perfect alignment for our next Women’s Leadership Principle #5 Know Yourself hosted by Marcia Davies, COO of Mortgage Bankers Association and Founder of mPower.

In her recent Roostify.com “Women & Wealth: Know Your Worth And Fight For It” article, Davies voices her expertise in working toward financial independence, particularly in a time that didn’t place the importance of providing the tools and resources needed to reach it.

Join us on April 1st at 9 AM PST for another Live Facebook Broadcast to learn what #KnowYourself means to Marcia and the

(NDILC).
