Woman of the Week – Jami Herzberg

Here at Executive Elements, we like to feature fantastic women we think you should know. Some of these women are clients, some are friends, some are women we’ve only just met. But they all have this in common: they are dynamic, interesting women who have agreed to share with us their insights and secrets to success.

Watching the sun rise across the ocean with my family. Any beach vacation energizes me!

My Favorite Quote:
“Your smile is your logo, your personality is your business card, how you leave others feeling after having an experience with you becomes your trademark.” (Jay Danzie)

A particular ring that was given to me by a mentor, that I wear on certain days to give me inspiration and encouragement.

My advice to Young Women:
Be who you are.  Do as you say.  (It sounds simple, but requires intentionality.)

How I Balance it All:
I don’t balance it all every day, but attempt to set a game plan each day about what success will look like at the end of that day.
