You already know the story of my handbag and me. For those who don\u2019t know what I\u2019m talking about: head over to my blog post \u201cSelf-worth and what it has to do with my designer handbag.\u201d My handbag not only made me reflect on my self-confidence, who I am, and how I want to be perceived, but it also led me to meet one of my favorite Instagrammers: Netti Weber. #rolemodel #powerhouse (Yes, I\u2019m using that term intentionally and in the most positive way.) The picture shows my outfit, and of course, I had my handbag with me. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To me, Netti Weber is the epitome of style. No one captivates me like she does. Not just with her clothes\u2014how she mixes and matches, how she can turn a simple pair of jeans into a statement piece, how effortlessly she can wear fur slides one day and Valentino high heels the next. But I also admire her because she\u2019s real, showing herself unfiltered, makeup-free, in a tracksuit while jogging through the English Garden. Or on her way to catch an early flight. She\u2019s almost always in a good mood, quick with a funny quip, and she doesn\u2019t take herself\u2014or the whole fashion scene\u2014too seriously. That doesn\u2019t mean she doesn\u2019t take her job seriously\u2014she\u2019s a total pro, no question! And I imagine she sets the bar high, not just for herself but for everyone who works with her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I started my own business, I had big dreams and visions. I wanted to do so many things\u2014and all at once, if possible. (Spoiler: I still do.) These include things like writing a book, starting a network, having an office (check!), meeting cool people. And that\u2019s why I wanted to talk to Netti Weber. I wanted to discuss what fashion does to us and our self-worth, hear her thoughts on my handbag, and ask her about so many other topics. At first, I hesitated and brought it up with my coaching supervision group. My colleague asked: \u201cSandra, what\u2019s the worst that could happen?\u201d My answer: \u201cNetti might say no!\u201d Ah, right. If that\u2019s the worst-case scenario... \ud83d\ude42 So I mustered up my courage and sent her a message on Instagram, and she said yes! And a yes from Netti Weber means yes. We met pretty quickly, and my plan to interview her\u2026 didn\u2019t happen. Quite the opposite! The roles were reversed, and she interviewed me instead\u2014about coaching, my work with executives, my tips for handling tough times, and so on. One thing I learned from that experience: better be prepared!!! The very next day, she posted the interview on her Glam-o-meter website. Boom. A woman of action. A true #rolemodel, even in this sense\u2014no messing around, just do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My new dream with Netti? To ask her the questions I didn\u2019t get to ask back then. About her courage to reinvent herself (after her time as editor-in-chief at InStyle). About her tips for staying so open and where she gets her incredible energy. What she does when she has a bad day. The biggest lesson she\u2019s learned from a mistake, and what she would do if she wasn\u2019t in fashion... and so much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear Netti Weber, if you\u2019re reading this (#bucketlist: Netti Weber reads my blog post)\u2026 if you ever have the time and inclination to answer these questions (and more), I believe that not only I but many women of all ages would find you to be a true role model. Just let me know when and where, and I\u2019ll be there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Okay\u2026 this has turned into a bit of a love letter. \ud83d\ude42 What I really want to say with this story is: be brave, reach out to the people you admire! More often than not, it leads to great ideas, collaborations, or simply wonderful moments. You can read about my wonderful moment in Netti Weber\u2019s blog post: \"The path inward. One coaching session, please. Don\u2019t think you need it? Keep reading...\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
