Brand Innovators’ Post

I’m not sure what I think about an event called “20 most powerful females” - some disconnect with the word powerful and the innate competition when we really need to build each other up - But this is an interesting clip about the routes to CEO and the responsibilities of Chief People Officer and CEO to grow talent from within. If you’re trying to get more women into your SLT, it’s worth a look #coaching #femaleleadership

Diverse leadership is not only socially important, but it also makes a business sense. We have seen enough studies showing that companies with more women on boards and in senior leadership have higher turnover, lower employees churn, and stronger brand equity. Thinks are certainly improving. Retail Week recently reported that 1/3 of new retail CEO appointments were female. Thank you Megan Dunsby for sharing. We have so many incredible senior women in our community already. The discussions we are all having show that we really need to start early and work across all levels to inspire more diverse leadership. This is just one of the reasons why I started Women of Retail community. We are running research on fmelae leadership and invite both women and men to fill it in. The more we know about the status quo, the better equipped we are to be able to create positive change. Please fill in this survey by 3rd March. Spread it across your organisation and encourage as many people in your network to participate. https://lnkd.in/eHeSi-er Thank you all so much for the support!

I had the pleasure of speaking on a panel about being a senior woman in Financial Services marketing this morning. It was great to share the stage with Mai Fenton and Elspeth Rothwell who are powerful women in their own right. We had a very open conversation to share with the room the challenges we have faced, and routes to overcome the hurdles of a full career. Thank you Jaemien Serrano for organising the fantastic event. My key take-aways were: 🕯 Don't be afraid to chart your own path to success and find a coach to help you identify where you are headed. ❤️ Find a partner in life and family that will support your career, and you support theirs, and work as a team. Don't do the false maths of calculating if the woman's salary will cover childcare and commuting costs to go back to work after maternity leave. Children in couples are a joint effort, and the cost of raising them should be calculated against your household finances not just the woman's. She could miss out on fantastic opportunities if she wants to go back to work but is convinced it doesn't financially make sense. 🚼 We all hope not to still be having this conversation in another 20 years, and I'm sure the next generation of fathers and partners will be even more involved in raising children and sharing the household burden. But we cannot lose sight of the fact that we are humans, and women are still the ones that bear children, breastfeed, and experience the hormone rollercoaster of menstruation, conception and the menopause. We shouldn't be afraid to talk about the bare truth of biology. We need to be supported as women if birth rates have any chance of holding up in developed economies. #womeninbusiness #womeninfinance #womenempoweringwomen #womenatwork #badgirlmaths

Reimagining Leadership Through a Different Lens 🌟 The face of leadership is evolving, and as we stand on the cusp of this transformation, it's time to recognize and amplify the strength that women of color bring to the table. Their unique experiences, resilience, and perspectives offer a richness that is unparalleled. Recent research indicates that organizations with diverse leadership perform 35% better than their counterparts. Yet, the percentage of women of color in leadership roles remains significantly low. Why this disparity? At Vision Within, we understand that traditional leadership paradigms don't always resonate with the unique journeys of women of color. Our mission is to bridge this gap, empowering these incredible women to lead authentically and redefine leadership from its very roots. I, Lisa, have been privileged to witness this transformation firsthand. The blend of strength, poise, and passion that women of color bring is not just inspiring, it's game-changing. Our vision is to ensure that every woman of color gets the platform she deserves, leading with purpose and authenticity. 📢 Let’s fuel this dialogue. Share your experiences or insights on women of color in leadership. How has your perspective evolved over the years? Let’s amplify this conversation and create a ripple effect in the leadership arena. #LeadershipRedefinition #VisionWithin #WomenOfColorInLeadership

Delighted to see the game-changing work that Solis Mammography is doing in advancing women's health recognized. The Chief #NewEraofLeadershipAwards recognize individuals and companies representing the creativity, innovation, empathy, purpose, and resilience that’s shaping the future of business. I'm particularly excited about "the company’s latest innovations, utilizing AI, stand to make truly groundbreaking changes in womens health. Mammo+Heart utilizes mammography to assess heart disease risk by detecting the presence of breast arterial calcification — build up in the arteries of the breast — which has been linked to an increased risk for cardiovascular disease in women. Mammo+Plus predicts the likelihood of breast cancer within the next year by comparing breast images to a database of tens of thousands of women. These applications offer comprehensive health insights into the top two causes of death in women — offering patients the knowledge to take charge of their health." I believe 2024 is the year of #womenshealth and the year that we see #AI come into healthcare in a big way. This award is proof-positive that #AI is advancing detection in powerful ways. If you haven't had your screening, we'd love you to visit Solis, the largest independent provider of specialized breast services with 125 centers in 17 major markets.
