"My Inspirational Circle" Cheers to #Abundance #Mindset- Success is not a limited resource; the more we support each other, the more we all benefit. I recently had the privilege of speaking with Ayumi Moore Aoki, the visionary founder of WOMEN IN TECH ® Global - a powerful global community empowering women in technology. Ayumi shared her deeply personal journey that fueled her passion for #GenderEquality. From her childhood experiences of fighting for equal rights as a girl, to the uphill battles she faced as a female entrepreneur and mother of four, Ayumi's determination to create a more equitable world for all women was palpable. In 2017, she was shocked to discover the growing gender gap in tech was actually widening after decades of progress. This galvanized her to launch Women in Tech - providing not just a supportive network, but concrete initiatives for education, business, funding and advocacy on a global scale. Ayumi's mission resounds with the core principles I outline in my book 'Trailblazer Founders' - the path to lasting change requires: 1. An unwavering commitment to take action, not just lament the status quo. 2. Rejecting a scarcity mindset, and uplifting others on the journey. 3. Creating safe, supportive communities that inspire and enable growth. 4. Legacy and Impact, Focus on how we want the world to be and work towards leaving a positive legacy. I'm inspired by trailblazers like Ayumi who turn their struggles into strength, and use that power to knock down barriers for the next generation. The world needs more of this boldness and abundance mindset to create lasting progress. I recently met Some other inspiring Women in Tech® Switzerland and MassChallenge who are contributing such wonderful efforts to Breaking barriers in the country! Truly admire their spirit Safia Agueni - Bettina Bachmann- Barbara Stäuble- Bahar Sandal Oana Florescu - Maureen Azria - Monika Zielonka - Magali Boeckem Maria Fernanda Scoz Luz - Daryna Perevoznyk- Lucie Maillet St-Pierre Katja Oswald Borella Giorgia Scetta, PhD
