Show Notes:
Girls need to decide what success & having it all means for them, & to develop the following qualities to achieve a fulfilling life.
The following are key ingredients for achieving success:
Create your own end in mind, click here for link to Dr. Jordan’s previous podcast on beginning with the end in mind
Autonomy creates engagement which then develops mastery
How the pursuit of fulfillment leads to success
The pursuit of fulfillment will lead them to success, not the other way around

The value of trusting your intuition

How successful adults found their calling
Teach girls that most successful adults zig-zagged their way to their calling and success, they didn’t go in a straight line at 18 years directly to their calling
Learning to cope with self-doubt & uncertainty

Be willing to take risks, make mistakes, learn, and retry
Retain your curiosity, love of learning, and creativity
Embrace your feminine energies and leadership qualities; Instead of making girls change to fit our masculine leadership paradigm, change the way we all see power & leadership
People skills are critical to success

Focus on more internal, intrinsic values like being of service and doing meaningful work vs. externals like becoming rich and famous
