[03:38] Lucy’s First Proudest Moment: Becoming a Certified B Corp Lucy’s first proudest moment was achieving their B Corp certification as a company. The certification was an approval that their purpose-led business was on the right track.B Corp companies are companies that operate with society, the environment, and the company in mind. Every part of the process, from hiring to giving back to the community, is assessed. This difficulty encouraged Lucy to evolve and develop the company.Approval and validation greatly matter to Lucy, but external validation won’t give her true self-worth and self-trust. It’s alright to seek external validation sometimes.The B Corp certification isn’t about Lucy. Rather, it’s about taking care of the people who work for her and their clients.  [11:42] Lucy’s Second Proudest Moment: Growing Her Self-Trust Lucy was invited as a host to AWS Summit London to talk about developing true self-confidence.This achievement symbolizes how far she has come and her growth over the past few years. Lucy once felt she had no value to share.

However, having these habits and non-negotiables can shift the way you feel about work and your body.Micro changes such as these small things done regularly have a big impact on your life in the long run.
