Inspire Leadership Network’s Post

Step OUT Step UP Stand OUT I am excited to share the framework I love using to catalyze transformational change when working with Women Leaders. This approach is powerful in guiding us to step out of our comfort zones, step up to new challenges, and ultimately stand out in our leadership journeys. #LeadershipDevelopment #WomenLeaders #TransformationalChange #IgnitePossibilities #bluewaterscoaching ##coachingwomen

Five days off with my kids was everything I needed. Slow mornings without the rush of packing lunches or dashing out the door were pure bliss. We soaked up extra cuddles, shared laughs, and made space for so much fun. Not to mention the much-needed rest as I focus on growing our third little one—halfway there! Balancing motherhood and a career is no small feat. Some mothers work because they’re passionate about their careers, others out of necessity to provide for their families. Some stay home because of rising childcare costs, and others make the intentional choice to focus on raising their children full-time—a demanding and rewarding job in its own right. Every path is valid and comes with its own unique challenges and joys. Having both roles can feel overwhelming at times. How do we navigate these conversations at work? Is it okay to admit that I miss my kids while still loving my job? It takes intentionality. This course feels like a breath of fresh air. My hope is that as more organizations introduce it to their teams, it creates a safe space to have these honest, important conversations and to support women in all their choices.

Why do women have a bad rap for not being good negotiators? This is a stereotype based on an outmoded view of negotiations as dominating, being right and winning at all costs.

💡 WISDOM WEDNESDAYS 💡 IT Leadership Insights brought to you by SIMDFW. Today's quote about resilience is from Angela Venuk and was given at the 2024 SIM Women Leadership Summit. #simdfw #Itleaders #insights

I’m happy to announce that I virtually attended last week's Bright Network *Women in Leadership 2024* event! The event was filled with inspiring insights, practical advice, and opportunities to grow personally and professionally. Hearing from accomplished women leaders and engaging in skill-building sessions gave me valuable tools to enhance my leadership abilities and prepare for the upcoming application season. Thanks especially to employers, including Bank of America, Haleon, and S&P Global, for sharing their expertise. Even as a virtual attendee, I gained meaningful knowledge and perspective. Some of the key takeaways that resonated with me: - Temi Nelson, Director and Head of Technology Experience at PwC, offered this insightful advice: “Learn to fall in love with yourself throughout your journey. Believe you deserve to be in that industry and role.” -Building a solid network of mentors and peers who challenge and support you is essential. Don’t hesitate to ask for feedback — it’s a powerful way to grow. -Confidence can be developed. If you struggle with it, “Fake it until you make it” — act as if you’re confident until it becomes second nature. -Another powerful quote from Temi Nelson: “One hand washes the other, you do good, and you receive good.” I’m also proud to have received a certificate of participation, marking a step forward in my leadership journey. 🎓 Here’s to embracing new opportunities, fostering leadership, and supporting each other. 💼💪 #WomenInLeadership #DiversityAndInclusion #LeadershipDevelopment #VirtualEvent #CareerGrowth #Mentorship #Confidence #CertificateAchieved

🚀 Exciting Announcement - Great ambitions are realized with a strong team! 🚀 We are thrilled to unveil the Executive Advisory Board of the Female Leadership Academy—an important step towards reshaping leadership for the future! Despite progress, only 15% of CEOs in Denmark are women, with similar figures at the board level. Even more concerning, just 20% of women aged 18-34 aspire to leadership roles. Why? Many don’t see themselves reflected in the leadership styles they encounter today. This highlights a critical issue: the leadership pipeline is broken. Without action, the representation gap will persist over the next 5-10 years. At Female Leadership Academy, we’re redefining leadership by embracing diverse leadership styles. Through our leadership programs and community events, we’ve empowered over 5,000 women. After attending, 90% of participants feel more prepared to step into leadership roles. With the support of our Executive Advisory Board, we are excited to continue empowering the next generation of leaders and fostering new, diverse approaches to leadership. Join us in this mission. #Leadership #DiversityInLeadership #FemaleLeadershipAcademy #Empowerment #NextGenLeaders
