National Women's Month is a time to honor the contributions and achievements of women throughout history and in contemporary society. Here are three ways you can celebrate: 1. Educate Yourself: Take the time to learn about women's history, including the accomplishments of women in various fields such as science, literature, politics, and the arts. ✨ 2. Support Women-Owned Businesses: Show your support for women entrepreneurs by shopping at women-owned businesses or using services provided by women. 🌺 3. Celebrate Women in Your Life: Take the opportunity to celebrate the women in your life—whether it's your mother, sister, friend, or colleague—by expressing your appreciation for their contributions and achievements. 💗 #womenhistorymonth #womeninhistory

So important for young girls to know their rights as they enter the workforce.

Entrepreneurship Isn't a Solo Journey Running your business can feel lonely, but remember, you're not alone. Today, I had a heart-to-heart chat with a friend in the IT industry. We discussed the challenges of starting a company and pushing forward each day. It is not easy, and it's not for the weak. What makes it difficult is it does get lonely when you don't have someone to explain what you're going through or someone who understands you the challenges your going through. What I've learned is connecting with your peers is critical. I've learned so much from conversations with friends, vendors, and people like Melanie Rae. It's these connections that keep us going. Just a reminder to all entrepreneurs out there: don't be afraid to reach out and talk to others in your field. It really helps. #teamspn

RARE in-person speaking event coming up! About 15 years ago, a woman I worked with made compelling arguments about why attending International Women's Day (IWD) events was so important; which is a story for another day... Since then I've made a point of being present for at least one IWD each year. This year, I'm honoured to be one of the speakers at the Town of Gananoque's "Empowering Women in a DigitALL Age" IWD event. I'll be sharing success stories of women entrepreneurs who live and work in Canada. Because when you experience stories of people you can relate to, then you can imagine navigating your own path to success. The vast majority of my speaking gigs are delivered online, and limited to specific groups of people. While I rarely speak in public, I thoroughly enjoy the experience! Especially when people ask questions. I'm looking forward to returning to the beautiful and welcoming town of Gananoque, to share some of what I know, while learning from the fabulous speakers and guests. The Eventbrite link for this free 3.5 hour event will be in the comments! ------------------- A bit about me - I share tactics and strategies employers may choose to implement to create more IDEAL jobs. On the flip side, I love helping you create and discover your ideal jobs, by teaching strategies and tactics that you can use over, and over, and over, again. I invite you to start a Thought Partner chat, follow the link in my profile to book a virtual 30 minute chat or send me a direct message here. #ShareLearnThrive – when we share what we know, and learn from each other, we can all find ways to thrive.

Businesses GROW here!

Every March, we celebrate #WomensHistoryMonth.
