What is a Sage?

Webster’s Dictionary defines a “sage” as one who is wise through reflection and experience. In ancient cultures, a group’s sages were those who had experienced rich lives and were thoughtful about what they had learned through these experiences.

People define success differently. For some, success means having achieved financial security or career pinnacles. Some people judge their success by the positive impact they have made on others whether these are clients, students, associates, or family. Other successful people have acquired a level of expertise that is recognized and respected by peers. But despite these differing definitions of what constitutes success, successful people themselves have similar characteristics.

•First, they are self-confident without being arrogant. This comes from being self-aware: knowing one’s strengths and weaknesses, knowing one’s goals and remaining true to one’s values and capabilities.
•Second, they are willing to grow by challenging their limits of knowledge and experience.
•And third, they are willing to reflect and learn from experience.

I am extremely lucky I came back to the art side of things and have rediscovered this fabulous industry where there is so much inspiration and support. Business can be so cut throat, so to see people who understand collaboration and respect bring the best outcomes...keeps me excited about my future and limitless ways to contribute.
