💣 I sell my mentorships with pride, unapologetically. I don't need stories to sell.  My aim is simple: to empower other remarkable women to live life to the fullest.  To navigate their challenges with greater ease.  To magnify their successes.  To celebrate their victories like never before. To live their dreams. Free.   That's my mission. And currently, there are three ways to work with me 1:1 and experience a quantum leap. Unapologetically.  Authentically. https://lnkd.in/eR_wy8MP

In a world where the glass ceiling is still a reality for many, the recent "Barbie" movie has sparked a powerful conversation about women's empowerment and breaking patriarchal norms. 🔹 Inspired by this movement, I've explored how these themes resonate within the real estate industry, particularly at the Inman Connect New York conference. 🌐🎬 🔹 From the "What Moves Her" session to my interview with the trailblazing Sarah Friar of NextDoor, this piece dives into the real-life challenges and triumphs of women in real estate. With 62% of Realtors in the U.S. being women, it's time we spotlight the significance of female representation and leadership in shaping the future of this industry. 💪👩💼 🔹 "You can't be what you can't see," Sarah Friar remarked, highlighting the crucial role of visibility in fostering women's leadership. This article celebrates the journey of women who are not just selling homes but redefining the industry's landscape, inspired by the resilience and ambition of Barbie herself. 🌟 🔹 From overcoming gaslighting to embracing courage over fear, the insights from Inman Connect NY are a testament to the strength and determination of women in real estate. It's a call to action for all of us to support and uplift each other, challenging norms and redefining success. 🚀 Let's keep the conversation going!

Girl Scout cookie season is officially here. Can you imagine a world without Thin Mints®, Tagalongs® and Do-si-dos®? Sadly, they were once at risk. There was a time in the mid-1970s when the Girl Scouts were struggling and their future looked uncertain. Fortunately, Frances Hesselbein came to the rescue. With membership falling, and the organization in a state of serious decline, Mrs. Hesselbein put sound management practices in place. During her twenty-four-year tenure, Girl Scout membership quadrupled to nearly three and a half million, diversity more than tripled, and the organization was transformed into what Peter Drucker described as “the best-managed organization around.” Hesselbein accomplished the amazing turnaround with a paid staff of 6,000 and 730,000 volunteers. The principles Hesselbein followed align with those of a Connection Culture. 1. Create an inspiring identity 2. Promote human value 3. Increase knowledge flow If you are tasked with leading an organizational turnaround in 2024, or want to avoid getting to the point where a turnaround is needed, the Girl Scouts make an excellent case study.

Last fall, BPW embarked on an inspiring journey with the Trailblazer series. This series wasn't just about events; it was a mission to illuminate the path for aspiring leaders in the realm of politics and advocacy, guided by our belief that a community of women who support greater equality for all people through education, leadership, and advocacy is needed and necessary. The Trailblazer series unfolded in three dynamic chapters, each designed to bridge gaps, foster connections, and share the wisdom of experience. Our kickoff event brought together women from various political backgrounds, offering a platform for those who've led, those who are leading, and those who aspire to lead. Their stories were not just shared; they were woven into a collective narrative of ambition, resilience, and success, underscored by our commitment to being more than consultants—being allies in their journey. The conversation expanded in our second event, drawing in both men and women who work behind the scenes. Campaign managers, volunteers, press secretaries, and organizers came together to peel back the curtain on the strategic groundwork that powers every successful campaign. We delved into the nuts and bolts of campaigning, emphasizing that success is built on a foundation of solid planning, reliable information, and adaptable strategies, all fostered by supportive partnerships. Our final installment focused on the fundamentals of campaigning, a testament to our belief in the power of knowledge and preparation. As we shared insights and strategies, we reinforced our role as not just advisors but as partners committed to turning ambition into action. Thank you to our partner, TheChamberYXE, for helping us to promote and engage, the The Saskatoon Club for hosting us, and to our many, many presenters who shred their time, knowledge and experiences with us. What's next? We're hosting a member meeting soon to discuss that, and we encourage you to buy a membership and join us.

Should Catholic women be ambitious in the business world? Elise Gallagher and Taryn DeLong of Catholic Women in Business share answers to this persistent question in Episode 7 of The Catholic Entrepreneur, and define what constitutes an authentic “women’s profession.” Join the insightful discussion here:

This week I spoke at two events held by Regional Arts NSW as part of their Creative Business Development program, and met with our Board to discuss a new project for women in regional and rural areas. Two things stood out for me: 1) Not every woman aims to 'shoot the lights out', 'break the glass ceiling', be at the top of their field, or be a leader. 2) We need to support and celebrate every life stage; the peaks and the troughs, and be there for each other to answer the small questions and facilitate every new learning venture. To every woman; there's no such thing as a dumb question. You don't need to turn every project into a passion or a business. You have the freedom to explore the next step without committing to a single path. And most importantly, you don't need permission to spend the time, money, energy and resources on the things that interest you. Give yourself that permission. Thrive, Heal and Evolve. We can't wait to watch your journey unfold.
