SOAR TO SUCCESS / Feature Article 4 Keys to Soar to Success When Soar to Success asked Jen what three personality traits she found in most successful people, she provided three and a bonus one: 1 2 3 4 Have Empathy “I feel it is important to be able to stand in someone else’s shoes. To be able to understand why they may be reacting a certain way and ultimately understanding their issues is valuable to work together.” Have Courage “When I first started in business, I had very little knowledge, but I just took the leap and made it work. Have the courage to do something outside your comfort zone.” Be Resilient “With resilience, when hard times come, you just keep pushing through. With resilience comes recognizing when it’s time to restore and reset so you can rebuild to keep going. That’s a crucial balance.” Exhibit Forgiveness “Instead of holding on to angst for somebody else who’s maybe micromanaging you, or treating you in an unproductive manner, just forgive and move on. You have to give yourself permission to forgive and not let people take advantage and hold power over you. Forgiveness can free the mind and open the way to more success.” In her personal life, Jen just sent her child off to college and is dealing with an empty nest. She enjoys cooking, baking, and travel. As a California girl, she loves to go to local beaches and restaurants, although COVID has limited out-of-the-house activities.
