#4 Taking on big projects when you don't know it all, and how we created the Iowa West Foundation Imagine Hours -with Nicole Lindquist (Pt 2)
Sometimes a project comes your way you know was meant for you, but it also feels big, or shall we say, intimidating?! There is excitement for the possibilities, but also the fear of what you don't know and what could go wrong. In this episode, I chat with Nicole Lindquist, Communications Director at the Iowa West Foundation about a BIG project our teams collaborated on called Imagine Hours, and how it all came together.
**Special Note: This is part 2 of a two-part conversation, be sure to check out Episode #3 for part 1**
