Creating A Workplace Where People Want To Work

Mon, 20 Feb 2023 11:00:00 -0000

There is a growing concern about the decline of employee loyalty – which can greatly impact productivity and innovation, which then contributes to a vicious cycle of continual decline. A positive company culture is critical in minimizing employee turnover. And, your leadership - the way you lead, interact with others, and make decisions – is critical to creating a positive company culture.

Companies, as well as non-profits and public employers, all want to do better. But, to create a great culture where employees want to stay is more than just one silver bullet that will work for everyone. Different people will decide to stay with a company for different reasons, so your plan for retaining employees should be diverse. Seek to understand the needs of different age groups and create strategies for each generation.

How can the workplace be made more attractive and fulfilling, especially to young, talented employees who have so much energy to offer?

That’s why we’re so lucky to be speaking with Robin Litster Johnson today, whose core passion is helping organizations create workplaces where people want to stay, be creating businesses that are more "Humane, Ethical, and Resilient."

After all, we spend most of our lives at work. Is it too much to ask to have workplaces that are "humane, ethical, resilient"? I don’t think so. And, Robin has principles and practices, tools and strategies that organizations can employ to create this kind of positive culture for any company or organization!

How Trust and Psychological Safety Impacts the Bottom Line

Mon, 30 Jan 2023 10:00:00 -0000

Leaders and employees both have a role and responsibility related to improving psychological safety; leaders must do their work to provide support for employees to do their work.

Studies show that psychological safety allows for an open exchange of ideas, creativity, and risk-taking, — just the types of behavior that lead to market breakthroughs. It’s about creating an environment where it is safe and encouraged to express diverse ideas, solutions and innovative thoughts without fear of reprisal.

Psychological safety is key to high performing leaders, teams and organizational success. We become more open-minded, resilient, motivated, and persistent when we feel safe. In fact, the highest-performing teams have one thing in common: psychological safety — the belief that you won’t be punished when you make a mistake.

Bottom line, growing and maintaining psychological safety is not just a good idea, it is necessary for great business outcomes! When people feel psychologically safe, they contribute and perform at higher levels.

Today, we’re talking with Roxanne Derhodge about creating healthy, respectful and harmonious corporate culture to attract and retain next generation talent in a global economy.

You know, change seems to be the only constant in the world -- in every industry. In order for organizations to thrive, leaders have got to learn how to embrace change - and master the art of transformation. Leaders must be proficient at being self-aware, and adapting to change, as well as leading others through change.

Embodying Feminine Leadership: The Essential Solution for a More Beautiful World

Mon, 21 Nov 2022 11:00:00 -0000

Good leaders often possess a combination of various “leadership qualities,” such as creativity, motivation, vision, and empathy. However, the most successful leaders are able to adapt to the needs of different situations, employing their diverse set of leadership skills in order to achieve their goals.

Traditionally, the idea of feminine leadership is used as a kind of shorthand for an approach that places an emphasis on empathy, humility, and relationship dynamics in business practice. The result can deliver a more considered—rather than impulsive—decision-making process and subsequent action.

Traits such as sensitivity, supportiveness, gentleness, warmth, cooperativeness, expressiveness, modesty, humility, empathy, tenderness, and being kind, helpful, devoted, and understanding have been cited as stereotypically feminine. But, Feminine Leadership belongs to all of us. It is a state of being that recognizes and understands the power of connecting, learning, sharing and evolving as a leader.

Feminine leadership creates space for unique creativity, inclusiveness, collaboration and supportive competition. Those that step authentically into their feminine when leading are able to demonstrate insight, kindness and the desire to energetically connect to and unlock true potential in others. Listen in as Allison Conte explains the principles and practices of Feminine Leadership!

Mon, 24 Oct 2022 10:00:00 -0000

In this truly remarkable life story, Saray Khumalo shares her epic journey to the top of the world: Mount Everest. From her childhood in Zambia and Zaire, to a corporate career in South Africa, through marriage and motherhood, Saray harboured one overriding ambition: to reach the summits of the world’s highest mountains.

She first summited Mount Kilimanjaro, and then others, but her ultimate goal was to summit Everest. After three unsuccessful attempts, Saray became the first black African woman to summit the world’s highest peak. Her success was hard won, though – along the way, she suffered severe personal setbacks, serious health issues and life-threatening injuries. But her perseverance finally paid off, and Saray’s success at high altitude has helped change the narrative about who belongs on the mountains and whose stories are told.

SHIFTing Up – Transitioning from Employee to Entrepreneur

Mon, 17 Oct 2022 10:00:00 -0000

Many of us dream of business ownership, and while some start-ups grow into successful businesses, many do not. Jumping from employee to entrepreneur may be a leap of faith, but it’s faith in your ability to achieve business success.

After you’ve been employed for a few years, it’s likely that you enjoy quite a bit of job security, a regular income, benefits, and a bright future. As an employee, you enjoy a certain security in knowing you’ll get paid, but as a business owner, you may not get paid for all those extra hours you work to build your business. Even so, starting your own business may be the way to pursue your passion and purpose.

Shifting from employee to entrepreneur requires planning, a clear understanding of your career objectives, and confidence that you can do the job as an independent business owner.

Joining us today is Chantée Christian who will help you understand how to move from employee to entrepreneur and manage the transition smoothly! Listen in as Chantée explains how to change your mindset from worker to owner. You think differently, you act differently, you plan ahead, and look to the past for what worked - and what didn’t.

Tips for Creating Media Exposure

Mon, 10 Oct 2022 10:00:00 -0000

Access to media has never been more important that it is today. There are so many amazing ideas, products, services – and businesses - that never really take off because they cannot get the media exposure – and therefore, the customers – required to make it work. Digital marketing experts estimate that most Americans are exposed to around 4,000 to 10,000 ads each day. At some point, we start a screening process for what we engage with and start ignoring brands and advertising messages, unless it’s something that we have a personal interest in. That is where PR kicks in. Instead of your potential clients being exposed to yet another ad, a well-constructed publicity campaign, is editorial in its nature. People are listening to a radio interview, watching a TV interview, reading an article on a website or in a magazine, and so your message is breaking through, and sinking in. Today, we’ll speak with Angel Tuccy, Media Exposure Specialist at Vedette Global Media, about how to create a well-thought-out PR strategy that create a positive image for a long time and ensures stable company success.

Devoted to Purpose: Supporting Purpose-Driven Brands

Mon, 03 Oct 2022 10:00:00 -0000

For many nonprofits, the past couple years have been uniquely challenging. And, the lessons of the last couple years are definitely influencing the plans of every nonprofit in the future. From fundraising to operations, everything is changing, - while the need to “do good” remains as crucial as ever. Today, we’re going to talk about the trends in the nonprofit world, that your organization should keep in mind when you’re trying to create your fundraising strategy. As your nonprofit develops new ways to fundraise, remember that fundraising trends change from year to year. For instance, did you know that non-profits can create NFTs to fund their charitable programs? Imagine if you could "create money" for your philanthropic missions! Creating money is an essential principle of the crypto market. And it opens a doorway for non-profits to fulfill their charitable model by creating NFTs (non-fungible tokens) specifically designed to raise capital for their particular philanthropic causes. And, the NFT market is global. It provides access to a limitless supply of charitable funding sources by creating and selling non-fungible tokens for cash. Non-profits desperately need money to fulfill their charitable mission, and creating NFTs could be a powerful solution to raise capital! Today, we’ll talk with Dr. Lydie Louis - a professor, advisor to executives and entrepreneurs, intellectual property master, investor, author, speaker, philanthropist, Wall Street lawyer, and a U.N. trainer about new ways to fundraise!

Mon, 19 Sep 2022 10:00:00 -0000

If you're confident that you have a healthy pipeline, sales and marketing are synchronized, the team is executing with precision, and hitting/exceeding your revenue goals, then you're likely off to a very strong start to the quarter.

So the next big question is how to determine and agree upon which revenue levers should be pulled in order to close the revenue GAP?

Uncomfortably Comfortable Conversations to Get A Seat at the Table

Mon, 05 Sep 2022 10:00:00 -0000

We are all entitled to live in a world that is conducive to us. We are all entitled to be treated equally no matter our differences. In order for all to be seen and treated as equals regardless of our race, gender, sexual preferences, religion, etc., we must become the change we want to see in the world. Society cannot and will not change until we choose to change individually. We can continue to educate and have conversations pertaining to DE& - but, without action we are only educated and merely going through the motions of change while remaining the same. We are simple talking the talk without walking the walk. Transformation begins with the willingness to change, then and only then can we begin the process of having comfortable uncomfortable conversations, and challenging ourselves to take the first steps towards change and restoration. When we are transformed from the inside out our words and actions will line up in taking the necessary steps needed to ensure equal treatment for all. Until all of us are free none of us is free. Are you willing to take a seat at the table to be a part of these uncomfortable comfortable conversations that will over time become comfortable, and be the catalyst for change for equality for all in today’s society?

The Secrets to Growing and Scaling Your Company

Mon, 22 Aug 2022 10:00:00 -0000

When companies grow, they are increasing their revenue as fast as they are adding resources to help fuel growth. When companies scale, on the other hand, they add revenue at a faster rate than they increase their cost structure. The company’s gains outpaced its losses, allowing it not only to grow - but also to scale. Although there is a plethora of advice now being given about how to grow and scale your fledging start-up, there's a dirty little secret out there: Once you've achieved rapid growth, the hard work really begins.

We all face challenges and adversity. Everyone will experience twists and turns, from everyday challenges to traumatic events. People generally adapt well over time to life-changing situations and stressful situations—in part thanks to resilience.

How to Rewire Your Mind to Overcome Any Challenge

Mon, 08 Aug 2022 10:00:00 -0000

Adopting a growth mindset means that failure does not define you – in fact, failures are the very building blocks that make you stronger and even more valuable. They point you to your purpose. Think about it, leading companies are looking for people who show their agility and ability to move in and out of a variety of roles that demonstrate their critical thinking and ability to adapt to or instigate change. Those with a growth mindset will be more inclined to happily accept challenges, they will embrace change, and focus on self-improvement. And, they are more likely to persist in the face of challenges and failures. They will treat obstacles as opportunities to grow rather than signs of their abilities being inadequate. Discover how to break limiting beliefs, stop self-sabotage and unlock your full potential by rewiring your brain using neuroscience, coaching and faith based principles! Today, Mimika Cooney, founder and creator of “Unstick Your Mind” and an impactful mindset trainer and leadership consultant will help us learn how to live a more purposeful and meaningful life, and how to be open to everyday challenges, through learning and development – and mindset mastery!

As history has shown, when we create more access, we create more opportunity for people, jobs, research, and innovation — both in space exploration and space-to-Earth industries.

Today, Shelli Brunswick, the COO of the Space Foundation, will discuss the growing opportunities for space technology innovation in the $447 billion space economy and the importance of global collaboration. By prioritizing workforce and education initiatives, and establishing norms of behavior to work together peacefully in space, we can drive unprecedented advancement and innovation around the world.

With more than 80% of business opportunities in the space sector generated from commercial enterprises, the vibrant supply chain relies on entrepreneurs and small businesses to contribute new products. The space industry needs an inclusive and diverse workforce so that everyone in all skill sets — STEM and non-STEM — can pursue studies, jobs, careers and business ventures.

Advocating for space technology innovation and entrepreneurship, Shelli collaborates with commercial, government and educational sectors around the globe on initiatives for space commerce, young professionals, teacher development, and space-inspired curriculum. Listen in!

Why LinkedIn is the Best Business Promotion You Never Have to Pay For

Mon, 25 Jul 2022 10:00:00 -0000

Your online social media profile is now just as important, if not more important, as your resume if you are looking for a new job or to change careers. Did you know that 85% of employers are currently using social media networks such as LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter for hiring, according to a survey by the Jobvite. And, nearly 60% of employers have hired through social media networks. So, its clear that employers are frequently using social media networks to find candidates for employment, rather than going through resumes or searching job websites.

But, how can you develop a compelling online brand for yourself? How can you define the areas in which you specialize, distinguish you from others, and persuasively convey the value you can bring and have brought to past employers? Find out the secrets to crafting a social media profile that helps you get found and helps showcase your business credibility and stand out from the competition. Remember, your social media profile is a way of engaging with people who often become valuable connections and customers – and maybe your next employer!

Today, we’ll talk to Carol Kaemmerer, LinkedIn strategist, marketing professional, social media adviser, professional speaker and trainer, about how to position yourself as an expert in your field in social media and make valuable connections to accelerate your success!

Creating Confidence for Next Level Leadership

Mon, 18 Jul 2022 10:00:00 -0000

Did you know that confidence predicts success much more than competence? Today, there is a particular crisis for women—a crisis of confidence, which can hinder your success. In fact, there is a vast confidence gap that separates the sexes. Compared with men, women don’t consider themselves worthy of promotions, they predict they’ll do worse on tests, and they generally underestimate their abilities.

A growing body of evidence shows just how devastating this lack of confidence can be. Women don’t feel qualified for advancement opportunities and they hold back on seeking advancement options. Women feel confident only when they are perfect. Or practically perfect. The good news is that with work, confidence can be acquired. Which means that the confidence gap, in turn, can be closed.

To talk with us today about how to “Create Confidence for Next Level Leadership” is Heather Monahan, a best-selling author and a TedX and keynote speaker focused on helping leaders create confidence and leapfrog their villains!

How Women Can Use Negotiation Skills to Advocate for Themselves

Mon, 11 Jul 2022 10:00:00 -0000

Negotiation is a skill that can bring significant value for everyone, yet women are far less likely to engage in negotiations. With good reason. Studies and anecdotes galore tell us that women are often penalized for negotiating. In 2001, only 7% of women negotiated their first salary compared to 57% of men.

Labeled aggressive instead of assertive or attracting the dreaded b-word, they fear the process for fear of retaliation. Are women terrible negotiators? No. In fact, as expert communicator and negotiator Fotini Iconomopoulos shares, the opposite is true. Women’s superior trust and empathy skills make them ideal negotiators. Often they just need to work on their confidence and employ some subtle communication strategies to get what they want — without that dreaded label.

Listen in as Fotini Iconomopoulos shares her negotiation war stories and how she overcame gender and age discrimination to go on to be the expert that Fortune 500 executives seek out for their high stakes scenarios. You’ll leave with the motivation and confidence and the knowledge to tackle your next negotiation with ease!

How Your Company Can Attract and Retain Top Talent – with Benefits!

Mon, 04 Jul 2022 11:00:00 -0000

According to Kaiser Foundation data, around 49 percent of the country’s total population receive group health insurance – health benefits provided by the employer. The remaining 51% have to figure out their healthcare coverage on their own. This can be a tricky slope to navigate, especially with evolving regulations around state laws. The ACA made sweeping changes to the industry in 2008, but that has only created pools of beneficiaries; not necessarily widespread solutions. Having the support and guidance of a professional advocate in the field can make all the difference to a positive research experience. But, as a business owner and business founder, with a rapidly growing and scaling business, how can you offer the kinds of benefits that attract and retain top talent? And how can you afford health benefits for a rapidly expanding workforce? And, how do you make smart choices for your employees, and your business? Today, we’ll speak with Dr. Noor Ali, a Bangladeshi-American medical doctor who champions the way for business owners and business founder, and creates fresh perspectives on health insurance options from an inside lens.

The Secrets of Developing High-Performing Teams

Mon, 20 Jun 2022 11:00:00 -0000

Creating a high-performing team takes more than simply hiring the right people and arming them with the right tools to do their work. It requires creating opportunities for genuine, authentic relationships to develop. And, its well documented that authenticity contributes to workplace well-being and individual performance – and it lifts team performance as well.

When it comes to building extraordinary workplaces and high-performing teams, three psychological needs are essential: autonomy, competence, and relatedness. Decades of research demonstrate that when people feel psychologically fulfilled, they tend to be healthier, happier, and more productive.

Members of high-performing teams are significantly more likely to express positive emotions with their colleagues – they are more likely to compliment, joke with, and tease their teammates. In emails, they were more likely to use exclamation points, emojis, and GIFs – deepening a sense of authenticity as well as positive emotional connections.

New research suggests that the highest-performing teams have found subtle ways of leveraging social connections – offering important clues on ways any organization can foster greater connectedness — even within a remote or hybrid work setting — to engineer higher-performing teams.

Of those three essential needs, relatedness, or the desire to feel connected to others, has always been the trickiest for organizations to cultivate. It’s one thing to attract talented employees — but how exactly do you get them to like each other?

Listen in as we talk with Suzanne Castle, Speaker, Author, Minister, Consultant and Coach, about “The Secrets of Developing High Performing Teams” on the LeadHERship Global podcast today!

Effective Communication: Creating an Authentic Voice and Vision

Mon, 13 Jun 2022 11:00:00 -0000

Our emotions can drive our unconscious and conscious decision-making. By developing emotional awareness, leaders can cultivate a focus on the internal motivations creating mindful connections, enhancing professional and personal development and self-leadership. Emotional awareness, or the ability to understand feelings, will help you succeed when communicating with other people. If you are emotionally aware, you will notice the emotional state of other people, which influences the way they communicate. You will also better understand what others are communicating to you and why. Sometimes, understanding how a person is communicating with you is more important than what is actually being said. Empathy is the ability to understand and relate to the feelings of someone else. Once you’ve learned to recognize another person’s feelings, you can go one step further and actually relate to those feelings. Good communication requires you to build trust between yourself and the person with whom you’re communicating. You can earn the trust of others by sending nonverbal cues that match your words. Listen in as Luz Gonzalez empowers everyone to gain insight into their own internal dynamic, by bringing clarity and building on unique strengths to achieve desired outcomes through her EQ Refined Business Model.

How Powerful Women Speak in Public

Mon, 30 May 2022 11:00:00 -0000

The biggest gift we can give someone is our presence. Powerful female speakers are distinctive in their presence - the way they enter the stage with confidence and enthusiasm, their shoulders held upright and the look of calm on their faces. Their presence is communicated not just by their words, but through the clothes they wear and the grooming of their hair, makeup and accessories.

Mon, 23 May 2022 11:00:00 -0000

Only about 3% of companies founded and led by women get venture backing, though 40% of companies were founded by women, and they generate 26% greater return than those founded by men.

How to be an Ally

Mon, 16 May 2022 11:00:00 -0000

Welcome to this week’s LeadHERship Global show where we will be discussing “How to be an Ally” with Deanna Singh, one of America's leading experts on transformational leadership and a highly regarded leader in the field of diversity, equity and inclusion. You know, we're taught to believe that hard work and dedication will lead to success, but that's not always the case. Gender, race, ethnicity, religion, disability, sexual orientation are among the many factors that affect our chances and it's up to each of us to be allies for those who face discrimination. Today, we’re going to talk about how to support people who are underrepresented in the workplace. There's no magic wand for correcting diversity and inclusion. Change happens one person at a time, one act at a time, one word at a time. In fact, it doesn’t take a special skill or talent to be an ally for marginalized groups. Anyone can do it. In fact, people of marginalized groups can and should be allies for each other as well. What is an ally? An ally recognizes that though they are not a member of a marginalized group(s) they support, they make a concerted effort to better understand the struggle of another’s circumstances. Listen in to this week’s podcast with Deanna Singh, author, speaker and Founder and Chief Change Agent of Flying Elephant, an umbrella organization for four social ventures!

The Impact of Living a Life of Purpose

Mon, 09 May 2022 10:00:00 -0000

The research on purpose is very impressive. There are health benefits galore. Purpose strengthens your immune system. People with a sense of purpose are less likely to experience a stroke or become addicted to alcohol and drugs. Having a sense of purpose even cuts your risk of Alzheimer’s disease. When you live a life of purpose, you’re more efficient, and you delegate better. Best of all, a sense of purpose is linked to a longer, healthier, more satisfying life.

But, what does it mean to live a purposeful life? Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.”

In other words, to live a purposeful life means more than merely seeking adventure and pleasure. A life of purpose is a life of meaning. It’s a life where the deep yearnings of our heart and soul are met, where we’re connected and engaged with those around us. If you’re living mindfully and intentionally, you discover the purpose in each interaction. Fulfilling the yearning to connect, to matter, or to make a difference helps us to feel fulfilled and satisfied. Without purpose, people tend to be unengaged and not all that present in your day to day life.

So, how do we get more purpose? How do we bring the benefits of living a purposeful life into our own lives? Today, Cathy Dimarchos, global business advisor and an award-winning mentor, will talk with us about how purpose can bring us into the moment, and create ripple effects for generations to come!

Top Considerations When Building Psychological Safety in the Workplace

Mon, 02 May 2022 10:00:00 -0000

The highest-performing teams have one thing in common: psychological safety — the belief that you won’t be punished when you make a mistake.

Psychological safety is key to high performing leaders, teams and organizational success. We become more open-minded, resilient, motivated, and persistent when we feel safe.

One of the main obstacles to psychological safety in the workplace is the lack of awareness about how to create the right environment. So how can you increase psychological safety on your own team? Today, we’re talking with Ruthann Weeks is the Founder and CEO of Harmony in the Workplace about creating healthy, respectful and harmonious corporate culture to attract and retain next generation talent in a global economy.

Warren Buffet funded a $2 billion foundation for each of his children. Gloria Vanderbilt received a trust worth $36 million when she was just 15 months old. There are plenty of famous stories about one generation leaving a notable fortune for the next.

How to Leverage Your Biorhythm for Peak Performance

Mon, 11 Apr 2022 10:00:00 -0000

While biorhythm theories have been present since ancient cultures, including those that practiced natal astrology, most theories are based on cycled periods – twenty-three days (physical/male), and twenty-eight days (emotional/female).

The physical, or male, cycle relates to coordination, physical energy, strength, and overall well-being. Twenty-three days in length, the cycle supports more awareness of times for optimum exertion and time for rest and recovery. The emotional, or female, cycle is a 28-day cycle centers around creativity, awareness, and emotional sensitivity and can be helpful in managing depression or other mood disorders.

Whether we’re aware of it or not, humans operate on a delicate biorhythm of various cycles, from the physical, intellectual, intuitive, spiritual, to even the aesthetic. Biorythms can be thought of as the body’s holistic mathematical system that can predict, or when studied, consciously control certain aspects of one’s life such as high performance, creativity, and emotional receptivity.

Biorhythms are “invisible waves of energy within the human body that are constantly in flux.” Considered unique to each person, these energy levels are thought to begin the moment we are born. But how can you leverage your biorhythm to achieve peak performance as a women?

Kayla Osterhoff has dedicated the last several years of her career to researching women's neuropsychology. Her investigative efforts into the brains and minds of women led her to a major discovery about the female biorhythm and how it provides women with unique cognitive and leadership abilities. Kayla is now dedicated to sharing her research discoveries to empower women leaders around the globe!

How to Build a Prosperity Mindset

Mon, 28 Mar 2022 10:00:00 -0000

Sometimes, building wealth has more to do with mindset than it does strategy. Your relationships, living situation, career, earnings, debt, and lifestyle are all the result of your thoughts.

You are worthy of all the abundance and gifts this life has to offer. You were meant to be here and to discover your fullest potential. Your job is to remove the blocks and limitations the world has thrown at you.

Cultivating an abundant money mindset happens over time as you become more self aware and learn to embrace new, creative, positive thoughts about what your future brings.

Limiting Beliefs Could be Limiting Your Life!

Thank you for joining me this morning with Linda Mbagwu - Investment Coach, Alignment Coach, Speaker and Entrepreneur. Linda helps purpose-driven leaders, who would like to accelerate success, move beyond the myth of “not enough” to achieve more with less stress.

What if I told you that you have made one decision about yourself that is dominating every area of your life and stopping you from manifesting your desires. As humans, we only make conscious decisions 5% of the time. The other 95% of our lives is controlled by our subconscious mind. And, Linda teaches that 70% of our subconscious mind consists of limiting beliefs learned from past experiences.

After working with a number of clients for years, Linda has designed a framework that helps leaders identify the one limiting belief that drives the majority of their decisions. By knowing what this limitation is, Linda helps her clients create new choices, see new possibilities, fast track their personal growth and achieve exponential results in all areas of their lives quickly and with ease.

Lessons in Courage and Resilience

Mon, 21 Feb 2022 11:00:00 -0000

We all face trauma, adversity and other stresses. Everyone will experience twists and turns, from everyday challenges to traumatic events with more lasting impact, like the death of a loved one, a life-altering accident, or a serious illness. Each change affects people differently, bringing a unique flood of thoughts, strong emotions and uncertainty. Yet people generally adapt well over time to life-changing situations and stressful situations—in part thanks to resilience.

Psychologists define resilience as the process of adapting well in the face of adversity, trauma, tragedy, threats, or significant sources of stress—such as family and relationship problems, serious health problems, or workplace and financial stressors. As much as resilience involves “bouncing back” from these difficult experiences, it can also involve profound personal growth.

While these adverse events are certainly painful and difficult, they don’t have to determine the outcome of your life. There are many aspects of your life you can control, modify, and grow with. That’s the role of resilience. Becoming more resilient not only helps you get through difficult circumstances, it also empowers you to grow and even improve.

Listen in to our insightful conversation with a special guest, Squadron Leader Toolika Rani, an Indian ex-Air Force Officer, Mountaineer, TEDx Speaker and Writer as she delves deep into her experiences in Armed Forces, mountains across the world including Mt. Everest, and her lessons of courage and resilience. Today, Toolika will offer a roadmap for adapting to life-changing situations, and emerging even stronger than before.

The Key Lessons Along the Entrepreneurial Journey

Mon, 14 Feb 2022 11:00:00 -0000

Nobody is a born entrepreneur, different people take different paths to achieve success, and there's no set-in-stone instruction for becoming a successful entrepreneur. Entrepreneurs take on a number of different roles and these roles can vary depending on the field you choose to enter. But, there are a couple of commonalities among the most successful entrepreneurs like having the right mindset. The first thing that new entrepreneurs need to know is that actually, failures are likely and success is certainly not a given. Understanding the risks that you're taking and also understanding that you may not succeed immediately is absolutely key. You have to be honest with yourself: entrepreneurship is not an easy path. Excuses will simply not cut it in this field. If your business failed chances are that you research poorly, you hired the wrong people, or you just simply weren't prepared. There are so many obstacles in the way of the entrepreneurial journey, as well as the pushing and the pulling in the driving forces that entrepreneurs encounter along their path.

And while no amount of preparation is going to ensure that your business will absolutely succeed, I will say you should have ample preparation before the big decisions need to be made. Of course, when you have an expert to help guide you, support you, and motivate you along the way. You are a hundred times more unstoppable than you would be alone. Mentorship allows you to take quantum leaps forward and avoid pitfalls, avoid the mistakes that could cost you your business and your future. And that's why we're. Excited today to welcome Bobbi Bidochka, who will share her unique path to success.

How to Set Healthy Boundaries

Mon, 07 Feb 2022 11:00:00 -0000

Setting boundaries is an important part of establishing one’s identity and is a crucial aspect of mental health and well-being. Boundaries can be physical or emotional, and they can range from being loose to rigid, with healthy boundaries generally falling somewhere in between.

Having boundaries simply allows you to make yourself a priority, whether that’s in self-care, career aspirations, or within relationships. Boundaries are a deeply personal choice and vary from one person to the next, and we shape them throughout our lives.

In fact, the word “boundary” can be a bit misleading. It conveys the idea of keeping yourself separate. But boundaries are actually connecting points since they provide healthy rules for navigating relationships – intimate, personal or professional. In that way, they actually bring us closer together than farther apart, and are necessary in any relationship!

Ultimately, even though personal boundaries can be challenging to navigate, setting and communicating them is essential for our health, well-being, and even our safety.

Listen in as Lisa Kaplin explains what healthy boundaries are and how to set them, why healthy boundaries are important for self-care, and how to explain boundaries to others. Learn how to show compassion and kindness to yourself by setting healthy boundaries – to avoid resentment, anger, and burnout.

Your Focus Can Become Your Future

Mon, 24 Jan 2022 11:00:00 -0000

We have a choice to hear what we are told. If we choose to hear "we are not enough", we become less confident with low self-esteem and if we choose to hear "we are more than enough", we can rise up and be anything and do anything.

We have a choice to remember our experience, if we choose to remember pain, we feel fearful, and if we choose to remember that we survived the experience, we feel strength and become more resilient.

We have a choice to see our strengths instead of our limitations. When we see our strengths, we can maximize our potential to succeed. When we see our weaknesses, we are limited and we are held back by our self-doubt.

Listen in as Eve Keil, Founder of EK Coaching, LLC, Women’s Empowerment Coach, Certified Leadership Coach, helps explain how your focus can become your future!

The Art of the Pitch: How to Succeed in Securing Business Investment

Mon, 03 Jan 2022 11:00:00 -0000

Only 2% of companies founded and led by women get venture backing, though 40% of companies were founded by women, and they generate 26% greater return than those founded by men. Access to capital can be a big hurdle when starting, building, and scaling a business. It is the reason that 83% of new businesses rely on personal or family savings of the owner. So, how can you attract investment funding as a women-owned or women-operated business?

Creating a convincing pitch that succinctly summarizes the value of your business is the first step – but, its no easy task. If you’re an entrepreneur, the stakes are high for a sharp pitch deck that tells the story about the problem you’re solving, the size of the market you’re addressing and whether your team has charted a viable roadmap to success with a clear exit. When pitching investors, founders need to build a case that adequately addresses the risk that investors bear with a compelling storyline about a winning exit.

There are plenty of resources outlining the common elements in all types of pitch decks regardless of industry - such as a company overview and corporate mission, a section outlining how to effectively size the market as well as an overview of the competition and key stakeholders along with the technical details of your solution and expertise of your team. The challenge is to present all of this in a smart narrative that is concise!

Through our discussion today, you’ll gain exclusive, insider tips on how to present your business to potential investors, and how to prepare for a pitch. Learn how to highlight the strengths of your business to earn the funding needed to grow and scale your business. Learn what investors look for so you can raise capital faster and increase sales!

Trauma Impacts Leadership - Learn How to Heal

Mon, 27 Dec 2021 11:00:00 -0000

We don’t tend to think of the workplace as a place where we need to overtly work with trauma. Trauma belongs in the domain of mental health. It belongs to your therapist, and not your leadership consultant or your executive coach. But here’s the truth: adults spend most of their time at work. Workplaces need to become places where we not only grow and develop—they also need to be places where we can heal and repair what has been hurt.

A basic definition of trauma is that it is an experience or event that overwhelms your capacities to depend upon or protect yourself. Trauma impacts the way we behave, the way we interact in relationships and the way we can learn and grow. And shifting from ‘what’s wrong with you?’ to ‘what happened to you?’ is needed in our places of work.

While much of the trauma that we think about is acute trauma or one-time trauma, like car accidents, a lot of the trauma that we experience is actually repeated trauma. With repeated trauma, our brains and bodies shift to protection. And this efficiency and repetition of protection becomes our way of living in the world—it becomes our personality. It becomes the way we lead.

Listen in as Linda Conyard, Australia's leading pioneer advocating for trauma-sensitive change and informed responsiveness to trauma in the workplace, talks about how to overcome the traumas in your life in order to lead in a healthy, balanced and authentic way!

7 Elements of a Successful Marketing Strategy

Mon, 13 Dec 2021 11:00:00 -0000

Most organizations understand that marketing is important, but few adopt a truly holistic approach to marketing. Marketing is a vital process for small entrepreneurial start-ups to billion dollars enterprises because no business venture can become established and grow without a thriving customer base. Every business must differentiate their company's products or services - so its distinctiveness and value are clear to the customer. This is the job of marketing.

According to the most recent B2B Marketing Mix report, 67 percent of companies surveyed named lead generation as their top marketing objective. Of course leads are important, but customer experience is critical for sustainable growth of the business, so marketing departments must do more than just enable sales teams to do their job.

Good marketers, in fact, understand what customers want, how a company’s solutions meet those needs and how to communicate that relationship effectively. A marketing-first approach to business ensures that the products and services the company offers are relevant to the marketplace. Through components like brand-building and brand positioning (both internally and externally), the best marketing-first companies drive their competitive advantages - and their success.

Most business owners find marketing both critically important as well as a challenging part of their success. There are so many elements of marketing to master: branding, competitive differentiation, story-telling, digital, social, thought leadership, sales enablement, ongoing customer communications, and more. So today, we’re lucky to have Monique de Maio with us, the CMO and Founder of a 23+ year old marketing consulting firm, ondemand CMO, to discuss how to create a sustainable competitive advantage for your business, through the development of a strategic holistic marketing plan.

Reframing in Three Steps

Mon, 06 Dec 2021 11:00:00 -0000

As we shift our thinking about our situation, there is a change in emotional tone and the meaning that we give to our life circumstances. We can choose to move our experience from a negative frame to a more hopeful one, filled with opportunities. This process of reframing allows us an expanded view of our reality.

One of the skills to help us develop as mature, resilient individuals is that of reframing. When we change our point of view on any given situation, the facts remain the same, but a deliberate shift is made in how we see it.

Reframing requires seeing something in a new way, in a context that allows us to recognize and appreciate positive aspects of our situation. Reframing helps us to use whatever life hands us as opportunities to be taken advantage of, rather than problems to be avoided. Breakdowns are transformed into challenges and new possibilities to experience life more fully and to become a more whole human being.

Kim-Adele Platts, leadership coach, bestselling author and keynote speaker will explain how we can replace dismal, energy-stealing thoughts with more responsible ones, such as: “I think there must be something important for me to learn here.” In three easy steps, Kim will explain how to reframe problems as challenges, and challenges into opportunities!

The Future of Sales: Why You Need to Revamp Your Approach – Now

Mon, 22 Nov 2021 11:00:00 -0000

Gartner defines the future of sales as the permanent transformation of organizations' sales strategies, processes and allocation of resources, moving from a seller-centric to a buyer-centric orientation and shifting to hyper-automated, digital-first engagement with customers. To meet customers’ new buying preferences and succeed at virtual selling, sales leaders must adopt a totally different mindset.

B2B sales reps need to embrace new tools and channels as well as a new manner of engaging customers, matching their sales activity to their customers’ buying practices and information-collecting needs. To learn how to align selling activity to customers’ preferred engagement channels and purchasing journey, sellers will need entirely new methods of sales enablement. In fact, among B2B sales organizations, sales enablement was the most critical priority last year.

In addition, Gartner predicts that by 2025, 80% of B2B sales interactions between suppliers and buyers will occur in digital channels. CSOs and other senior sales leaders must accept that buying preferences have permanently changed and, as a result, so too will the role of sellers.

To keep sellers engaged and executing sales, CSOs must find the right balance between the technology deployed and the volume of content that sellers interact with to do their jobs. In addition, CSOs and sales enablement leaders must train sellers differently to better optimize virtual sales enablement practices.

Listen in as Carajane Moore, President and Partner of Hunt Big Sales, explains what the future of sales looks like and why you need to revamp your approach now!

Microaggressions Are A Big Deal: How To Talk Them Out And When To Walk Away

Mon, 15 Nov 2021 11:00:00 -0000

Microaggression is a term used for brief and commonplace verbal, behavioral or environmental slights, whether intentional or unintentional, that communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative attitudes toward stigmatized or culturally marginalized groups. To be clear, the "micro" in microaggression doesn't mean that these acts can't have big, life-changing impacts. They can, which is all the more reason to address them when you see them.

These everyday, subtle, intentional — and oftentimes unintentional — interactions or behaviors communicate some sort of bias toward historically marginalized groups. These are the thinly veiled, everyday instances of racism, homophobia, sexism (and more) that you see in the world. Sometimes it's an insult, other times it's an errant comment or gesture.

The difference between microaggressions and overt discrimination or macroaggressions, is that people who commit microagressions might not even be aware of them.

We're all human beings who are prone to mistakes. But you need to be more aware of your biases and impact on people. Research has shown that microaggressions, although they're seemingly small and sometimes innocent offenses, can take a real psychological toll on the mental health of their recipients. This toll can lead to anger and depression and can even lower work productivity and problem-solving abilities.

Which is why we’re so lucky to have Mickaela Lusignan with us to help us navigate the issue of microaggressions in the workplace – so we can all commit to working on these things in order to create a more harmonious society.

Mon, 08 Nov 2021 10:00:00 -0000

When you apply for a C-Suite position or a public board seat, or you’re raising capital, selling high value products or inspiring your teams - how you present yourself makes an enormous difference.

The Secrets of Setting Boundaries in the Workplace

Mon, 01 Nov 2021 09:00:00 -0000

Setting good personal boundaries is critical to creating healthy relationships, increasing self- esteem and reducing stress, anxiety and depression. Strong boundaries protect your self- esteem and your identity as an individual with the right to make your own choices. Conversely, a lack of boundaries opens the door for others to determine your thoughts, feelings, and needs.

Unhealthy boundaries are often characterized by a weak sense of your own identity and your own feelings of disempowerment in decision making in your own life. This leads to relying on others for happiness and decision-making responsibilities, thereby losing important parts of your own identity. An inability to set boundaries also stems from fear; fear of abandonment or losing the relationship, fear of being judged or fear of hurting others feelings.

As important as it is to set healthy boundaries, most of us have a difficult time setting healthy boundaries consistently. At times it is difficult to identify when our boundaries are being crossed. We may even fear the consequences to our relationships if we set them.

As leaders, we may know the things we need to do to set boundaries, but with the pandemic and the blurred lines of work/home, often, we aren’t living those boundaries. By modeling boundaries, as a leader, you are giving your team permission to do the same. Good boundaries are a sign of emotional health, self-respect and strength.

How to Leverage Your Co-Creative Ability

Mon, 25 Oct 2021 09:00:00 -0000

Most leaders have moment of intuitive insight, but they don’t live intuitively. In the co-creative state, you experience a high-level of engagement and clarity, which transcends your current human thinking.

Co-creation means tapping into the collective consciousness of the universe, working in tandem with it create new and novel possibilities. In a co-creative state, you can experience a higher level of engagement, enjoy a oneness of being, and transcend limited human thinking. Who you are in your co-creative form is limitless.

Think about it – when elite athletes are “in the zone” they say time slows down, reaction times speed up, and they know what to do long before they have to do it. When was the last time you really felt in the zone? Most leaders know what its like to be “in the zone” but don’t know how to live there all the time.

Today, we’re going to talk with Sally Anderson, world-renowned leadership coach, leadership advance facilitator, inspirational keynote speaker, author and master coach trainer, about how to live “in the zone” by learning the art of co-creative leadership!

Learn how our brains and body work when we make happiness a top priority and how that helps to increase productivity, creativity, and life longevity.

One of the most underrated life achievements is happiness.

Today, you are invited to listen in to learn the importance of how to build happiness and well-being in your life, and how to bring it to your business, your employees, and your family. Jacqueline will explain how the simple act of making happiness a priority will impact your business financially and how it will carry through to your lives at home to help your children.

Breakthrough with Confidence - From Perfectionism to Peak Performance

Mon, 11 Oct 2021 10:00:00 -0000

Do you push yourself to be the best? Do you get upset with yourself when you’re anything less than perfect? While we all strive towards excellence, some individuals have great difficulty accepting being less than number one. Many athletes and performers can develop perfectionism. To these individuals, obtaining anything less than perfect or even an average performance is considered a failure or not good enough.

Perfectionism is not the healthy pursuit of excellence, as most people tend to believe, but rather it is the compulsive striving toward unrealistic goals. Setting high personal standards and goals, and working hard to attain them is appropriate; but, perfectionists set excessively unrealistic goals and strive compulsively to achieve them, punishing themselves for mistakes and lowering their self-confidence because they can’t reach these impossibly high goals. When leaders seek perfection, they place a high degree of pressure on themselves that increases their anxiety, which almost certainly affects their overall performance.

The good news is there is a way back to joy and satisfaction. It is absolutely possible to shift from perfectionism to the healthy pursuit of excellence.

Today, Pattie Grimm, author, speaker, trainer, and podcast guest, will help us learn how to tame anxiety and the negative thoughts and move from perfectionism to high performance!

The Secrets of Creating a Strong Personal Brand

Mon, 04 Oct 2021 10:00:00 -0000

What is your brand? What do you stand for?

Many people struggle to build a meaningful brand – what you stand for – the things people associate you with when they think of you. A strong brand is memorable; it stands out; it tells your story; it highlights your expertise. Especially in the digital world in which we live, play, and work your brand is important. It is distinct and sets you apart from others.

A personal brand is the package of character traits and capabilities that make you who you are, expressed in a way that others can understand right away. It’s what you project to the world as the most accurate view of who you are, what you stand for and the value you bring. It’s about believing in the best version of yourself and articulating it to those who matter.

In today’s podcast, Debra Wheatman will discuss the various aspects of brand building, including actionable strategies that will enable you to develop, manage, maintain, and grow your brand to realize personal and professional success. With more than 17 years of experience, Debra shares tactics that enable people to facilitate meaningful interactions that leave lasting impressions. Listen in!

From Employee to Entrepreneur: How to Transition Smoothly

Mon, 20 Sep 2021 10:00:00 -0000

After you’ve been employed for a few years, you probably have job security, a regular income, benefits, and a bright future. Even so, you may want more out of life, and starting your own business may be the way to get it. However, moving from employee to entrepreneur requires planning, a clear understanding of your career objectives, and confidence that you can do the job as an independent business owner.

Workplace Bullying: Leader or Liability?

Mon, 30 Aug 2021 10:00:00 -0000

Many companies spend a great deal of time and money attracting and recruiting great talent, only to struggle with keeping them engaged and productive. Many executives, as well as new managers, have spent years perfecting their technical skills, but little time learning how lead a team, whether remotely or in person.

A poor leader isn’t necessarily a bully - but may tolerate behavior, or a culture, where the bully can thrive. Why do some organizations tolerate bad behavior just because the perpetrator is a high performer?

Workplace bullying shows up in different forms, covert and overt and can look like aggressiveness, humiliation or manipulation. It often occurs in what could be considered a hostile workplace environment. And, it almost always results in stress and anxiety, which can lead to physical complications. And, it always affects productivity, employee engagement and retention - which all correlate to revenue and profitability.

Today, we’ll talk with Irené Turtle, Leadership Development Consultant and Executive Coach, about how bullies come in all forms, male and female, and show up in every industry. Like most workplace and leadership issues, it all starts with awareness and a willingness on the organization’s part to take the necessary steps to address it. Irene will help you learn how to address workplace bullying as a leader – to create a positive environment where high-performing teams can thrive!

Monetizing Your Message through Public Speaking

Mon, 26 Jul 2021 09:00:00 -0000

According to the latest report from the “Brokerage of Speakers and Coaches,” the world has one million too few speakers and one million too few coaches.

Find Your Sweet Spot in Leadership

Mon, 19 Jul 2021 09:00:00 -0000

To maximize your effectiveness you must find your “sweet spot.” Your sweet spot is where your motivations and strengths intersect. When you find your sweet spot and begin operating out of it, you will experience increased joy and fulfillment, because you will be in your most natural position.

To find your sweet spot, you first have to know what motivates you to be successful, what drives you to take on the responsibility of leadership. When you focus on the reasons behind your actions, you’ll begin to understand your motivations. It takes a lot of motivation to lead an organization, and understanding yours allows you to lean on them when you need a push.

Once you identify your motivations, you need to know your strengths. What are you good at? What type of work should you be doing? What separates you from other employees at your company?

When you know what you want to do and why you want to do it, you are drawing on motivated capabilities. This is a powerful, efficient way to work. When you find your motivated capabilities you are operating in your sweet spot.

7 Ways to Say I’ll Just Include Myself

Mon, 21 Jun 2021 10:52:29 -0000

We’ve all been told over and over again that, as women, we need to know their value. But how do you actually go about doing that as a high-performing leader seeking higher heights in business? How do you dig into understanding your value proposition? First, you need to understand the consistent parts of your life’s story. There are literally keys to your purpose, and your future, embedded in your past. Knowing your value, based on carefully examining your past, is core to the mindset that untethers you from all that holds you back, including the expectations of others. Adopting a growth mindset means that failure does not define you – in fact, failures are the very building blocks that make you stronger and even more valuable. They point you to your purpose. With this knowledge, you can build a solid and compelling value proposition. L. Michelle Smith wrote about exactly that in her new book No Thanks: 7 Ways to Say I’ll Just Include Myself, and she’s here to talk about it. L. Michelle Smith is a bestselling author, speaker and certified executive & business coach who empowers high-performing, executive women leaders to lead like rockstars. She also advises the companies they want to lead at the intersection of tech, culture & business.

The story of the spread and unthinkable human tragedies of COVID-19 is the ultimate case study in high-stakes leadership. The ones who passed this test with flying colors are disproportionately women. This is despite the fact that they make up only 7% of heads of state. And, none of us can afford to miss the lessons here. The number of COVID-related deaths is predicted to be substantially lower in areas where leaders acted sooner, even by a week. All leaders, including men, can learn from what we have seen women do in this crisis. This moment in history offers a fascinating and real-time opportunity to understand the consequences of leadership decisions in a high-stakes situation. What might be some of the strengths we take for granted, as women, that help lead in high-stakes situations, and can be recognized and applied to everyday leadership challenges?

How to Thrive in the Rapidly Evolving Global Workplace

Mon, 07 Jun 2021 09:00:00 -0000

In a year marked by crisis and uncertainty, corporate America is at a crossroads. The choices companies make today will have consequences on gender equality for decades to come. The pandemic has intensified challenges that women already faced with balancing childcare, school, household labor, and a full-time job. Companies risk losing women in leadership—and future women leaders—and unwinding years of painstaking progress toward gender diversity. But, the crisis also represents an opportunity. If companies make significant investments in building a more flexible and empathetic workplace, they can retain women leaders and nurture a culture in which women have equal opportunity to achieve their potential over the long term. And, women have unique leadership capabilities that position them well to thrive in the rapidly evolving global workplace transformation. From remote work to flexible schedules and the gig economy, Debby Carreau, CEO and Founder of InspiredHR, will discuss how to leverage your unique strengths to accelerate your career in this uncertain time.

The The Age of Authenticity: Why You Need to Get Real

Mon, 31 May 2021 09:00:00 -0000

How to Find Funding for Your Business and Become Glass-Ceiling-Smasher

Tue, 18 May 2021 12:17:08 -0000

Only 3% of business investment goes to women, and that’s a problem for everyone. Considering women represent over 40 percent of all entrepreneurs in the country, a lot more needs to be done. Everything we know about business tells us that more investment in women means more than innovation and reach in an industry, it also provides economic growth and social benefit for the nation. After all, who better to cater to the female half of the world’s population than women? And women, by the way, make 80 percent of purchasing decisions in the home. In fact, Morgan Stanley estimates that investors are missing out on businesses worth $4 trillion in revenue annually by not investing in more female- and minority-led enterprises. Joining us today to highlighting female founders who are paving the way for the next generation of glass-ceiling-smashers and helping female founders access needed investment capital, please help me welcome Liz Kennedy, someone who overcame the odds, raised funding and is now leading a successful company.

The Key Steps Women Can Take to be Strong Leaders

Mon, 10 May 2021 09:00:00 -0000

More and more women in leadership positions are pushing the boundaries of gender equality by utilizing their strengths and leadership qualities – in skill, knowledge, experience and emotion. Natural attributes normally assigned to women can be big differentiators as leadership qualities in the workplace. Women can help others set goals and attain them, emphasize teamwork, and invest time in training, mentoring and personal development. Women are more likely to approach their careers in a self-reflective way and value factors such as meaning, purpose, connection with co-workers and work-life integration. When women bring this strength to bear for their teams and employees, it has long-lasting implications. It improves employee retention, creates stronger team players, and develops the next generation of female role models. To talk to us about the “Key Steps Women Can Take to Be Strong Leaders” please help me welcome Jacqueline Hayes, Founder and CEO of Seyah One Enterprises, four-time author, keynote speaker, impact coach, podcaster and publisher!

Sustainability is Now Mission Critical for Businesses in 2021

Mon, 19 Apr 2021 09:00:00 -0000

Today’s executives are dealing with a complex and unprecedented combination of social, environmental, market, and technological trends. These challenges require sophisticated, sustainability-based management. We know that consumers are shifting purchasing decisions to brands with integrity, social responsibility, and sustainability, at their core. Today’s consumers expect more transparency, honesty, and tangible positive social impact from companies and can choose from a raft of sustainable, competitively priced, high quality products. In fact, one study found that environmental and social responsibility was the only significant factor that affected respondents’ evaluation of a firm and intent to buy. Those companies that proactively make sustainability core to business strategy will drive innovation and engender enthusiasm and loyalty from employees, customers, suppliers, communities and investors. And, that’s why we’re so glad to welcome Stephanie Stahl, CEO and Co-Founder of Ace of Air, a circular beauty and wellness business launching in 2021, to LeadHERship Global podcast to talk with us about why sustainability is now mission critical for businesses in 2021.

How to Close the Confidence Gap

Mon, 12 Apr 2021 09:00:00 -0000

Today, there is a particular crisis for women—a vast confidence gap that separates the sexes. Compared with men, women don’t consider themselves as ready for promotions, they predict they’ll do worse on tests, and they generally underestimate their abilities across the board. A growing body of evidence shows just how devastating this lack of confidence can be. In fact, it turns out that confidence predicts success much more than competence. No wonder that women, despite all our progress, are still woefully underrepresented at the highest levels. Overqualified and overprepared, too many women still hold back on seeking opportunities. Women feel confident only when they are perfect. Or practically perfect. The good news is that with work, confidence can be acquired. Which means that the confidence gap, in turn, can be closed.

To talk with us today about “How to Close the Confidence Gap” is Robbie Walls. Robbie is founder and CEO of The Walls Speak, Author of 180* Momentum and co-author of The Power of the Platform, a popular speaker on the topic of Purpose and a Speaker Teacher. She is President of The 180 Coach, a coaching company designed to give you the blueprint to dream, build, and live powerfully through your purpose!

Creating a Digital Marketplace for Women Everywhere

Mon, 22 Mar 2021 09:00:00 -0000

Women in the United States are not in the top 10 countries for gender parity - in fact, the U.S. isn’t even in the top 30 or 40! According to the World Economic Forum, women in the United States are losing ground in key areas – all, except for educational attainment. According to the World Economic Forum’s 2020 Global Gender Report, and the UN, gender parity is no less than a century away.

Now is the time to bring women together and help them feel empowered.

The Secrets to Growing and Scaling Your Company

Mon, 15 Mar 2021 11:00:00 -0000

When companies grow, they are increasing their revenue as fast as they are adding resources to help fuel growth. When companies scale, on the other hand, they add revenue at a faster rate than they increase their cost structure. The company’s gains outpaced its losses, allowing it not only to grow - but also to scale. Although there is a plethora of advice now being given about how to grow and scale your fledging start-up, there's a dirty little secret out there: Once you've achieved rapid growth, the hard work really begins. Scaling is hard. Scalability is about capacity and capability. Does your business have the capacity to scale? Will your business systems, infrastructure and team be able to accommodate scale? To help ambitious entrepreneurs develop plans to help grow and scale their businesses, please help me welcome Danyel Surrency Jones, the Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of POWERHANDZ, a global designer, manufacturer and distributor of innovative athletic training products that address specific skill development gaps with athletes at all levels.

How to Build Strong, Healthy and High-Performing Teams

Mon, 01 Mar 2021 12:00:00 -0000

Great teams don't just happen. As a leader, it’s up to you to get people to work well together and produce great results. And, of course, there is a direct correlation between team health and team performance. In simple terms, healthy teams are high performing teams. A healthy team is one in which team members feel comfortable being themselves, asking questions, sharing ideas, and trusting that their co-workers are there for them when needed. A healthy team is one in which team members feel valued, respected and safe.

The global pandemic, while only a point in time, represents a critical moment for all leaders to pivot. What has served leaders in the past, will not necessarily serve them in the future of work – now that we are now managing remote teams, blended personal/professional lives and a changing economy.

So, how do you know how to best support the team, assess the team’s strengths, and the behaviors and practices that require improvement? To help us is Jen Bonfilio, Vice President of People for Tallwave, a leading customer experience design company, bringing innovative ideas to life.

Mon, 15 Feb 2021 12:00:00 -0000

Much like confidence, belief is a self-fulfilling prophecy. You are only what you believe you are. This applies in sales, too - your beliefs shape you, and thus your business.

Emerging Lessons about Diversity and Inclusion from the Crisis

Mon, 25 Jan 2021 12:00:00 -0000

Some leaders may have diverted their focus away from diversity and inclusion as they grappled with urgent questions around how to manage the new economic realities of the global pandemic. But, if organizations are not actively renewing their commitment to stamping out discrimination, they can expect to see inequities grow deeper and more insidious. But, smart leaders will use this time to understand these needs and re-configure diversity and inclusion support programs to meet them, rather than trying to make old resources fit new problems. Research has proven over and over again that executives at organizations with advanced diversity and inclusion strategies are about 30% more likely than others to feel highly loyal, innovative and set up for top performance.

We don’t enter the world with it. No one has it all of the time. Talking about it won’t help you gain it. I’m referring to self-confidence.

Key Lessons Along the Entrepreneurial Journey – from Starting Your Company to Selling It

Mon, 11 Jan 2021 13:00:00 -0000

Nobody is born an entrepreneur. Different people take different paths to achieve success, and there is no set-in-stone instruction for becoming a successful entrepreneur. But there are a couple commonalities among successful entrepreneurs, like having the right mindset. The first thing that new entrepreneurs need to know is that failure is likely and success is not given. And, you have to be honest with yourself. Entrepreneurship isn’t an easy path. Excuses simply won’t cut it as an entrepreneur. But, when you have expert guidance, support, and motivation -- you are 100 times more unstoppable than you are alone. Mentorship allows you to take quantum leaps forward and avoid pitfalls, mistakes that could cost you your future, and rash decisions. Today, Sally Hurley, CEO of VIPdesk will be your mentor, sharing her expertise, and talk about how she has built two successful companies, and negotiated a successful exit with a private equity firm!

The Secrets of Transformational Leadership

Mon, 04 Jan 2021 12:00:00 -0000

Transformational leaders enhance the morale and motivation of those around them and create a sense of solidarity and the collective good. Transformational leadership increases organizational performance and positively impacts innovation, the heart of success and growth within an organization. And, importantly, transformational leaders tend to lead with inspiration as opposed to authority. But, beyond having high self-esteem, believing that you are a significant, worthy and capable member of a team or organization, what are the other keys to becoming a transformational leader? What other attributes and characteristics do the best transformational leaders have in common? To help us better understand the “Secrets to Transformational Leadership” we’ve excited to have Dhomonique Murphy with us, who has convinced 17 of the most highly sought-after motivation and business leaders in the nation not only to grant her an interview, but to grant her an interview inside their own homes.

How to Repurpose Your Career by Successfully Pivoting

Mon, 28 Dec 2020 12:00:00 -0000

Do you feel disengaged in your day-to-day work? Do you lack the energy and enthusiasm to get your work done? Or worse, perhaps you dread waking up to go to your job in the morning. If you’re staying on a career path simply because of the pay, power or title it offers, it may be time for a career pivot. A career pivot is simply doubling down on what is working to make a purposeful shift in a new, related direction. Pivoting is an intentional, methodical process for nimbly navigating career changes. As you start to plan a pivot of your own, keep that word in mind: intentional. A pivot should make you feel a little uncomfortable, but you should always feel a sense of confidence in what you’re doing. Take one small, deliberate, and brave step toward your goal every single day, even when it’s inconvenient. Even when it’s s terrifying. Join us to learn how to determine if a career pivot is right for you, and how to make an action plan that works!

Leading with Your Values and Creating Dignity and Purpose

Mon, 07 Dec 2020 12:00:00 -0000

In 2018, 30 million small businesses accounted for 99.9% of all U.S. companies, employing 60 million people, or nearly half of all U.S. employees – and small businesses have also created more than 65% of all new jobs over the past twenty years. We need to address the main obstacles keeping small business, particularly those of women and minorities, from achieving sustainability. Research shows that in recent years, the most significant growth in entrepreneurship was among women and underrepresented populations. But, unfortunately, these groups are also the ones facing the most challenges in our workplaces. We must make sure that small businesses are able to create positive social impact, that they are embraced and supported, by reducing inequality, lowering levels of poverty, and creating more high quality jobs with dignity and purpose.

One of the key elements of effective leadership centers around relationships. It is about knowing how to get the optimum performance from the people you interact with and are responsible for, whether at work, in your community or at home.

The Keys to Cultural Competence

Mon, 16 Nov 2020 06:00:00 -0000

Relationships are a powerful part of who we are. They can help make us feel like we belong, like we have something to contribute to this world. They can strengthen us. They give us reason to affect change and, more importantly, to be changed. But it’s often difficult to connect with people when we don’t understand their background. How do we learn to interact respectfully and knowledgeably with all the people in our lives who exist outside our inner circle—people whose culture and worldview is so far removed from our own? How do we use our differences to strengthen our bond as humans? The key is cultural competence. Cultural competence is the ability to understand, communicate with and effectively interact with people across cultures. Join us as we discuss unlocking the potential of diverse teams with Tara Jay Frank, Speaker, Consultant, Founder at MORE THAN: A Movement, and CEO of TJF Career Modeling, LLC.
