016 | Plan Vs. Prepare ft. Cathy Hodges

<p>Do you have people in your life who just inspire you to do better, to be better? Cathy Hodges is one of those people for me. Cathy is a former global sales executive (having held leadership positions at Dillard’s, Donna Karan, Estee Lauder and Avon, to name a few) turned entrepreneur. She is the founder of Increased Orbit, a strategic growth consulting company, where she uses her analytical, organizational and communication skills to help other leaders build sales, improve process, and motivate teams. She leads with integrity and wisdom, and I am so excited to share her insights with The Encourage Project community. Enjoy!</p><p>In this episode:</p><p>- Stuck?
