Happy Monday, friends!
Our Parallel Design Group team had the honor and privilege of learning from some of the best leaders at EDGE|X 2019. Hosted at Northview Christian Church for a half-day immersion with the Indianapolis community of hungry and motivated leaders - our team collectively highlighted our top ten takeaways that will serve as inspiration and thought starters to dig in deeper in our personal and professional lives.
Side note: There were so many wisdom bombs - it was VERY hard to pick just 10!
We are already excited for what's in store for 2020 as we take what we learned to apply and grow as designers - professionals - moms - friends - sisters; as people.
P.S. We think you should send this along to someone who could use it. Which is pretty much anyone because we all want to be inspired, right?
Cheers!
Your PDG Team
