No certifications. No college courses completed. No documentary features. No awards,” Stacey Champagne, the founder and CEO of Hacker in Heels said. “How do you *do* that?!” I asked from across the dining table, “how are you able to go through a whole year without doing any of these sort of things and be OK?” He didn’t have a response,” she added, stating that the response gave her so much to unpack. Taking his reply into account, she questioned why she was unable to be content without “conventional markers of accomplishment”. “My gut says that this is a question that many people, namely high-performing women, grapple with too. I don’t have an answer, but I’m curious what your thoughts are: Could you go a year without a single new certification, interview, award, promotion and be OK with yourself for it?” she asked users.
