Dana Williams and Wendy H. Steele discussed how to make an impact in Episode 55 of Dominate Your Day, emphasizing the importance of making a positive difference on the world, especially for women and future generations. Wendy shared her journey of making a difference as she started Impact 100 and stressed the need to take action instead of accepting the status quo. Wendy’s mantra “ we must take responsibility for creating a better world- waiting for someone else to solve a problem is not the solution.” Wendy believes that taking action will ultimately benefit us in the long run.
