Let’s face it - perfection is a myth. Bettering yourself is something we should always strive towards, but there will never a perfect anything. According to Ruth Ann Harnisch, if you’re holding out for the perfect partner, the perfect investor, the perfect board member, the perfect anything, then you are playing a losing game, and perpetuating a cultural falsehood in which we expect people to be flawless.
Don’t expect perfection in yourself, or anyone else, but do expect people to live up to their values. Most importantly, expect that of yourself. Ruth Ann’s number one rule in life is to be trustworthy to herself so she can always count on herself even if everyone else lets her down.
On February 19th, 2019 at 7:30PM, Her Agenda Insiders will host special guest Ruth Ann Harnisch for #PowerHour. #PowerHours are virtual chats held for one-hour at the Her Agenda Insider Slack community.

Ruth Ann believes “The Final Frontier of Feminism is Finance,” and as a certified professional coach she has helped thousands of entrepreneurs, creative artists, scientists, philanthropists, journalists, executives and polymaths to unlock the chains that keep them from playing the money game to win.
