I recognize that I need to be at my best physically in order to perform at the level our guests deserve and our projects require.

My former boss was the Mayor of Washington, D.C. and he managed to squeeze in running or biking every day. I learned from him that you can always fit exercising into your schedule. I also prioritize doctor appointments and when there, advocate for myself and ask a lot of questions.
—Ximena Hartsock, co-founder and president of Phone2Action
