The Greatest Lessons Learned From Around the World

What's the greatest lesson you've learned?  Reporter and author, Sharon Sobotta took this question to heart and went one step further to find the answer.  She traveled around the world meeting everyday people from all walks of life.  Following, she wove their stories and the most applicable lessons into a book, The Journey of Life:  100 Lessons From Around the World. 

Sharon intends to transform these lessons into positive action and will follow up with a second book that uncovers individuals who are taking the unpaved path to pursue their dreams.

We met Sharon at the Engage Her conference and interviewed Gloria Steinem together.  Impressed with her work and passion, we have invited Sharon to share the lessons of everyday extraordinary women she meets during her travels with See Jane Do listeners.  Read more about Sharon on our "About" page.

Sharon shares how we can put the lessons into practice:
