VERNON - It was a short, yet inspiring message.
Lacy Donald stood confidently in front of a group of about 40 women Oct. 10 during the Vernon Women in Business luncheon at the Vernon Golf and Country Club and spoke about how empowerment can create victory in business and in life.
“Power creates victims, empowerment creates victors. It’s something I’m really passionate about and we don’t analyze it enough in our everyday actions,” said Donald, vice-president of Vernon Women in Business and a sales and leasing consultant with Vernon Hyundai.
She told the women that every morning she looks in the mirror and empowers herself with positive thinking which elevates her confidence and value.
“So when I go to work I don’t ask myself why I am here in a male dominated field; I just know why," she said.
Donald, who has over ten years of management experience, says she believes this way of thinking allows her to provide exceptional customer service and helps her with developing her relationships with her clients.
When Donald’s young daughter is asked who is the most confident woman you know, she always answers “my mom.”
