It's #WhyWISEWednesday! This week, we spotlight another dynamic duo in our WISE Within Mentorship Program, Chelsea Branom, Market Development Manager, Swire Coca-Cola and Michaella Putman, Chief Engagement Officer, VSG Advantage Training. When we asked Chelsea and Michaella why WISE Within? Here is what they had to say: ⭐️ Chelsea: "Throughout my mentorship program, a recurring theme has been to expand my knowledge beyond my current role. I've taken the time to learn and ask questions from other departments and roles within my company, understanding how each contributes to building a strong team. Asking insightful questions and gaining a deeper understanding of each team's structures and protocols has helped me become a more multifaceted team member, improving my collaboration and communication." ⭐️ Michaella: "What excites me most about our mentor-mentee journey is the opportunity to help uncover connections that may not have been apparent before. Sharing experiences and strategies has been incredibly rewarding, especially as I've seen the confidence it's brought in stepping into projects and leadership roles. Watching the growth, creative thinking, and building stronger teams has been inspiring. I'm grateful to be a part of this journey." Coming Soon: Learn how you can be part of the WISE Within 2025 cohort! Are you a WISE member who would like to share your #WhyWISE?

At WISE Seattle, one of our goals is to empower women in sports and events to discover and seize opportunities. Here are three ways to help you raise your gaze: 📌Practice Mindful Observation: Take time to observe your surroundings, whether it’s a new coffee shop or a different part of your city. This practice can spark creativity and help you notice opportunities you might usually overlook. 📌Keep a ‘What If’ Journal: Write down “What if…” questions related to your goals and dreams. This can encourage creative thinking and help you explore possibilities you may have never considered. 📌Create an Opportunity Board: Visualize your goals by creating a board that highlights not just what you want to achieve, but also the opportunities you can explore. Update it regularly as you discover new paths and possibilities! Let’s embrace new opportunites together! #WISESeattle #Seattle #WomenInSportsAndEvents #MotivationMonday #Opportunity
