Powrsuit

You couldn’t ask for a more fitting Powrtrip! ⚡ What an incredible experience visiting one of our partners, Mercury NZ, and getting a first-class tour of their geo and hydro plants—an absolute thrill! The day was capped off with a masterclass for their wider Women's Group on building their unique personal brand. These are remarkable women doing remarkable things: designing the future of energy, leading large teams (often of men), ensuring safety, fixing and welding pipes—along with all the usual generation ops at HQ! Just 15 years ago, seeing a woman in a plant, let alone in a leadership role, was unheard of. In awe of you trailblazers! 🌟 Leigh McLellan Sarah E.

Ambitious women often get a bad rap. It’s a double-edged sword – be ambitious, but not too much. Have more confidence, but don’t overstep. 🤷♀️ What an absolute pleasure to have Vanisa Dhiru share her thoughts on ambition with our Powrsuit members yesterday. What resonated was her approach and reframing of what can be a weaponised label for women: Ambition is a clear, intentional goal around the role and responsibilities that would use her skills and be fulfilling, balanced by a parallel career of service and gratitude. Ambition can – and should – take many forms. For Vanisa, it’s about feeling valued, fulfilled, and always giving back. We had never thought about ambition in this form - that it's quite circular - going after what you want, helping others along the way, and then giving back when you have abundant time or other resources 🔄 Thanks, Vanisa! 🙏 #membership #powrsuit #community #mindsetshifts

The Visibility Paradox: Be Seen, But Don’t Overdo It 🤷♀️ Visibility often leads to opportunities. The more visible you are, the more likely your contributions are recognised, opening doors to promotions and career advancement. But for many, it's a balancing act. Be seen, but don't be too self-promoty or ambitious. In tomorrow's newsie, we'll share three easy ways to boost your visibility. (visit our site and share your email for weekly tips 📩).

This morning, Kristen had a 20-minute intro call with a CEO…and let’s just say it wasn’t her finest moment. No clear intro, no compelling reason why they should care, and no actionable next step. Awkward! 🤦♀️ #mondayitis Even though we teach 'the elevator pitch' to our Powrsuit members, we still stumble, too! 💡 A few quick tips to nail your intro when taking someone's valuable time: ✔️ Keep calls short (15-20 minutes is plenty). ✔️ Nail your intro—who you are and why they should listen. ✔️ Offer immediate value with an "aha" moment—make it crystal clear why they should care. ✔️ Have a clear ask—what do you want? What’s the next step? As you can imagine, it takes a bit of planning and prep BEFORE the call. ~ Kristen How do you prep for intro calls?

Happy almost FriYay Southern Hemisphere! 🌞 We love to celebrate the week by taking a minute to recognise wins, big or small- because, yes, it can reframe the grind - and this event is definitely one of them! 😀 A huge thanks to Rochelle Moffitt and Tickled Pink for having us as guests at one of your fabulous events. Jam-packed with openness and a real willingness to share and learn. A highlight? When we opened the floor to “asks,” so many spoke up! From crypto tax help to moving to Ireland, new connections were formed, and it underlined the powr of asking for what you need. Try it at your next get-together. #connection #community #partners #support

A huge thanks to Mercury NZ for their commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion and for partnering with Powrsuit! 👏 We had the privilege of chatting with Lucie Drummond, Executive GM Sustainability at Mercury, about her career moves and the skills she credits along the way. 🙏 We so appreciated Lucie's honesty about her own journey—whether tackling mental health or learning when to pivot. “𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘴 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘺 𝘣𝘪𝘨𝘨𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬-𝘰𝘯𝘴.

Give us a mic... 🎤 🌬 Recently, at the The Leadership Institute (ANZ) conference, we tested out a new talk! How (and why) to say yes. We're all about saying yes, but (always a but) with intention. Inspired by stories of brave women in our families, we know that the adventures worth stepping into are the uncomfortable ones. But how do we do it on the daily? It starts with saying no to the non-promotable work that holds us back. Only then can we say yes to strategic opportunities: First, make sure at least one of these is true: 1️⃣ It will increase our visibility across our organisation. 2️⃣ It will align with our strengths, values or bring us joy. 3️⃣ Aligns broadly with our career goals, taking us a step in the right direction. Then, to recognise that we grow by taking risks and before we talk ourselves out of something: ✅ Considering the upside. Don't think first of all the things that can go wrong, what if it all went right? ✅ Back ourselves to learn by doing. Ride a bike? Play an instrument? Parent? Congrats, you've proven that you can already do that. The next time you're unsure, ask yourself: If not you, then who? (Definitely not someone as awesome as you). #Leadership #WomenInBusiness #Powrsuit
