A highlight of #TheGracies Luncheon included an interview with Emma Myers, this year’s AWMF/ Podcast Movement scholarship recipient, and award-winning broadcast journalist, Rita Cosby, host of 77 WABC Radio🎙️ One question Emma asked Rita, "How do the Gracie Awards inspire the next generation of women in media, including scholarship recipients like myself?" Rita's inspiring response: "I’ve seen the living proof—so many times I’ve come to the Gracie Awards, I’ll see a student winner, and guess what? A year or two later they’re a professional winner, so the proof is very much in the pudding. Often, this is sort of the stepping stone, and it also just shows them what it is to be a single woman broadcaster. I leave every time from these awards and galas inspired. I leave also thinking of different layers, different ways to tell the story, different ways to learn. We all learn from each other. We all get inspired and join forces together, and it’s a remarkable sense of teamwork and girl power that you leave here fully on fire, and you can’t wait to take charge of the world! I’ve always believed that a woman can do anything, but you leave here validated and you leave also knowing you have many comrades here that are on the journey with you, and that is incredible." Emma added, "I’ve already felt it. Just everyone I’ve met has been so amazing and kind and supportive—you can feel it." Rita continued, "So dynamic, the energy, and the vibe, you walk away going, ‘Wow… I can do this, I’m not alone.’ Often there are friendships here. I’ve seen a young woman I saw here years ago who won a student award, and she’s won a bunch of professional awards since then, and her career has skyrocketed. And I think she very much credits this to the Gracies and I very much credit...I’ve been blessed to win a lot of awards in my life, but when I see that you’ve won a Gracie, I cry because I know that it’s picked by women, by your peers, and that’s the best testament of all, the best judges of all." Stay tuned for more from this powerful conversation! #AllWomenInMedia

Some really useful points here from Cindy Gallop, especially ahead of #IWD2024 but one question I see come up a lot among female founders and creators is how much should we charge for speaking engagements?

Executive Coach | Trailblazing Women become Confident Communicators | Media, Communication & Confidence Coaching | Ex-ITV | Let’s talk DM me
I received this in the post…from my mum!!! Unbelievable. A few press clippings - of ME‼️ It took me right back to my time in a busy newsroom and my days at ITV Central News. My media career started in 1992 when there were only 4 tv channels in the UK. By the time it ended in 2008 there were hundreds! Ofcourse the #media industry is so different now - new technology, digital dominance, citizen journalism, content diversity… BUT some things still stay the same:- ✅ Nothing beats a great story - learn to use the power of #storytelling when you speak about your business ✅ Always look for relevance - both in the content and who it is for ✅ #communicate your message clearly and simply - cut out the jargon and that goes for acronyms too A SUPER presentation TIP for you:- 🌟 If you had to describe your presentation in a tweet what would you say? 🌟 Use that to get to the essence of your presentation. 🌟 It will help you stay focused on what you have set out to do and structure your presentation more easily. Happy Monday 😊 What change have you seen in the media - is it better, good, bad…your comments most welcome! Raj Meghani Neeta Halai Veena P.

A volunteer chooses to contribute his time, effort and resources for a good cause. In this sense, an employee is also similar to a volunteer. Employees voluntarily choose to work for a particular company. They use their lives to vote for an organisation. Yes, employees receive monetary rewards -- but if you think about it, there are actually millions ways to earn money. For superstar performers, there are a lot of choices. As soon as we understand that people are not purely coin operated when they make their career decisions, the difficult question then becomes: how do you make them stay and engaged? From William Stixrud's parenting bible "The Self-Driven Child", I learn that people only care when they think they can controI and contribute to the outcome. So instead of trying to manage others, I think of my role as an ally supporting my child, my colleagues, or even customers so that they can manage themselves. It actually takes a lot of burdens off because being an ally means you don't have to be a know-it-all and give all the solutions. You can be an open book so that others can point out any fallacies. You can offer your fellow human beings a life raft every step along the way, while still respecting their choices to trial and error. You can say "I don't know" bravely and engage in the fun of "let's figure out together". These are almighty powerful and liberating in this ever changing world.

Speaker Agent (Keynotes/Workshops). I partner with organizations to deliver speakers to support your goals and employees' performance.
Ready for some #realtalk about being black in the workplace? I know so many organizations and companies say they are...but their structure doesn't really allow this to happen in an effective and progressive way. And that is where Desiree Adaway comes in. She's an equity expert. She'll tell you how #diversity and #inclusion don't address #equity. EQUITY is what is needed in so many workplaces and let's face it, that is a hard conversation for white people in power structures to have. Desiree talks to this directly. She talks about black joy, equity, self care, and really hard conversations that are desperately needed. Listen in to her sizzle reel - she offers virtual and in person keynote and workshop options. https://lnkd.in/eheEG9gi Be in touch if you'd like to learn more! #blm #business #power #blackjoy #microsagressions #selfcare #keynote #training #workshops #blackliberation

Sometimes you have to stop, breathe and tell your own story. Often as creatives, we can get lost in creating for others and tend to neglect our own garden of creativity. That can mean losing track of archiving your projects or forgetting to recognize your own growth. The good thing is you can get right on track and lock in! And for creatives, don't forget to document your creativity. Check out my latest portfolio! #media #diversityandinclusion #portfolio #mediastrategy #careergrowth #dedication #hustle #contentcreation
