Celebrating Women’s Month: Empower, Inspire, Share. As we honor Women’s Month, let’s commit to being a positive influence in the lives of other girls and women around us. Our experiences, stories, and lessons learned are invaluable treasures that can uplift and empower those around us. Why Sharing Matters? Sharing our knowledge strengthens our community and binds us together. Each story we tell has the potential to inspire someone else to overcome obstacles, dream bigger and achieve their goals. Let’s foster a culture of support and encouragement. Whether it’s through mentoring, networking or simply lending a listening ear. Let’s uplift each other every step of the way. Together we can create an environment where every woman feels valued, heard, and inspired to reach their full potential. Happy Women’s Month ✨ Let’s spread our wisdom and shine brighter together. #WomensMonth #Empowerment #CASA #Inspiration #Community #Mentoring

We love to see this sharing from Co-Impact! Read up on what Co-Impact learned from their 2023 feedback process, and how they are putting that learning into action 👇

Check out the blog discussing our collaboration with our program partners, in our continuous efforts to be a better program-partner-centered organization.

We encourage women to be stronger together by inspiring a progressive mindset. 💪   This is not only the mission of the Cross Company Community (X3C), but also the reason why we came together for a strategy workshop. 👉Who are we? X3C is a network of individuals who are part of women's networks in companies across the Rhein-Neckar Region, Germany.   👉Why am I engaged in this network? I'm motivated to create an environment where people can support each other, learn from one another, and thrive in their professional lives.   👉What did we meet for? We have met to discuss how we can improve our collaboration, engagement and collecting ideas for the future.   💡My takeaways from the workshop: - If everyone contributes just a little bit, we can all make a huge impact together. - We are not lacking motivation, just time. - We now have a plan to improve our collaboration. - AND: We have many ideas for future events. Stay tuned!   Are you volunteering in a network and struggling with engagement? I'd love to hear your insights or tips.

#TipTuesday: As you consider #goals for you and for your team this year, don't just make them SMART; make them SMARTIE! I love this framework from The Management Center that ensures that #equity and #inclusion are woven into the fabric of your goals from the get-go and not as an afterthought. https://lnkd.in/gHBiJABz

I've always sought opportunities to grow both personally and professionally. One experience stands out among the rest, teaching me invaluable lessons in organization and adaptability.Last summer, I volunteered to coordinate a local fundraising event for a women's group. Little did I know, this endeavor would be a crash course in multitasking, problem-solving, and, most importantly, the art of organization.From coordinating with vendors to managing volunteer schedules and handling unexpected challenges, every moment was a test of my ability to stay organized amidst chaos. One instance, in particular, taught me the importance of adaptability. On the day of the event, we faced a sudden shortage of volunteers. Instead of panicking, I quickly reassessed our needs, rearranged tasks, and rallied the team to ensure everything ran smoothly.Through this experience, I honed my skills in time management, communication, and strategic planning. I learned that organization isn't just about color-coded calendars and to-do lists; it's about remaining calm under pressure, thinking on your feet, and empowering others to work towards a common goal.As a young feminist advocate, this experience has been transformative. It's shown me that effective organization is not just a personal skill—it's a tool for driving change and making a tangible impact in the community. Whether it's advocating for women's rights or navigating the world of commerce, the ability to organize, adapt, and lead is invaluable.I'm grateful for every challenge and triumph that shaped me during this event. It has prepared me to take on new challenges with confidence, knowing that I have the skills to organize, inspire, and make a difference. Here's to embracing chaos and turning it into something truly remarkable! 💪🌟 #OrganizationalSkills #FeministAdvocate #CommerceGraduate #EmpoweredByChaos

TEN member Canvas Programs will be a presenter at this year's Together for Change Conference. Learn more about their sharing session here: Canvas’s session is designed with the understanding that many folks doing 2SLGBTQ+ advocacy and inclusion work are doing so from lived experience. In September 2022, the Canvas team implemented a Debrief Model, training every Canvas facilitator to be able to support participant disclosures in workshops, and systematizing the peer support that facilitators receive following challenging workshops. Canvas’s session uses its Debrief Model as the foundation, as an example of what can make working from lived experience more sustainable in the current climate. In the context of peer support, the session will introduce what being “trauma-informed” means when storytelling. The session is proposed as a sharing circle to break down power dynamics and hear from those doing the work, centering the lived experiences in the space. As part of the facilitated conversation, the session will explore narrative witnessing, with a focus on empowerment throughout. A reflection activity will also be introduced, asking participants to explore their definitions of “comfort” and “safety” in the work that we do, with critical implications of when safety is present but comfort is not, and what happens when safety is absent. The session is led by Syd Gilchrist, a registered social worker on the Canvas team.
