👉 Being a Catalyst for Connecting Women Meaningful connections take work, time, and mutual investment. It starts with meeting the right people first. Introducing the right woman into the right group takes both the art of keen understanding and the foresight to envision possibilities. In this episode we will explore the following with our featured guest: 💎 How does a catalyst bring about mindful introductions? 💎 What is the best practice for developing the introductions into impactful connections? 💎 Why is investing in bringing women together is important for the both the women and the society? It is with joy that we feature Lauren Ashley (Minor/Youman), CPC, a connector of women. If you know Ashley, you know that meaningful connection is at the heart of what she does. Her cup runneth over when she is afforded the opportunity to connect with women from diverse and beautiful backgrounds and get to help them broaden their own network, whether for personal or professional reasons. To Ashley, (1) Connection is currency (2) Connection is necessary (3) Connection is a catalyst. With that being said, she wants to help you to double down on meaningful connection. Her purpose and the mission and vision of Catalyst center around this simple concept: To facilitate meaningful connection between diverse women seeking depth of connection with other women. #womeninleadership #empoweringwomen #woman #fcatalyst #connection #mindful #womeninvestinginwomen https://lnkd.in/eHh3agCt

As a Girl Dad and a husband to a successful entrepreneur, #WomensHistoryMonth holds a special place in my heart and home. Throughout this month, my wife and I have been reading short stories to our daughter, introducing her to impactful women from history. Our goal is to broaden her perspective, showing her the boundless possibilities of what she can achieve and emphasizing the immense power of women. These conversations with my daughter have prompted me to reflect deeply. I stand before the mirror, asking myself, “How am I truly being an impactful ally and advocate for women from my position?” Powerful women have always surrounded me—my mother, sister, grandmother, and close friends. I’ve witnessed their struggles, especially in the workplace. Fortunately, my career at Insight Global has allowed me to work in an environment that actively empowers and champions women’s growth. Our workforce comprises 70% women, and 65% of our leadership positions are held by remarkable women. When the topic arises, I've always quickly raised my hand and declared proudly, “I am an ally!” But what does it truly mean to be an ally? An ally is not just a label; it’s a verb, an action. It involves making conscious decisions every day—decisions aimed at uplifting the women around us. It means carrying that same energy even when they’re not in the same room. With this understanding, I've decided to define my allyship and its impact. I commit to amplifying their voices, advocating for their rights, and fostering an inclusive environment where everyone thrives. Let’s celebrate Women’s History Month by not only acknowledging the past but actively shaping a future where women continue to break barriers and lead with strength. 

#WomensHistoryMonth is here, and my way of celebrating this month will be discussing the theme of #WomenSupportingWomen! Navigating a male-centric business environment is no easy task, but it is even more daunting when we do it alone. Many organizations have men as allies programs that can be powerful and help build and support diverse team. Both my female and male colleagues, mentors, and role models have been an absolute game changer in my life, throughout every stage of my career, and one of the best parts about reaching key professional milestones is that I now can give that support and guidance to other women. Learning to be a better mentor is a lifelong journey, but one of the easiest ways is to celebrate one another's wins—loudly and often. If this message resonates with you, shout out a woman in your life who deserves recognition! Who do you know that accomplished something exciting recently or hit a personal milestone? They deserve to be celebrated! #FemaleEmpowerment #WomensHistoryMonth2024

Have you heard of Shine Theory? This was new to me. The concept was developed by Aminatou Sow and Ann Friedman. It's women working together, intentionally committing to collaborate, rather than compete. It's about asking 'would we be better as collaborators rather than competitors?' This isn't to discount healthy competition, and it's not scattergun, handing out business cards or Linking In with everyone you meet at a networking event, but it is about investing wisely in key relationships. And it's mutual. You are there for one another. Helping each other to shine. I like it. #collaboratenotcompete #womensupportingwomen #womeninleadership #womenininsurance
