The League of Women in Government’s Post

In her June blog, TRUST President Lisa Saul, MD, MBA, writes about how women leaders often face the dual challenge of managing professional demands and personal aspirations. The key to thriving in our careers comes when we embrace our roles with confidence and unapologetic ambition. We can foster environments where we and other women can pursue our dreams. Learn how you can prioritize leadership elements to confidently make a meaningful impact. https://buff.ly/455ulTP #WHLTRUST #PresidentsBlog #Confidence #UnapologeticAmbition

Lack of career development for women leaders isn't just an unfair imbalance (though, to be clear, it certainly is that); it's also a massive missed opportunity and business risk. Discover how organizations can support and empower women in leadership roles in this insightful article by HR Drive that cites DDI | Development Dimensions International's research.

Delving into my latest article, I spotlight the pivotal first strategy for emerging leaders: Building a Support Network. It's about cultivating a circle of allies—those open-minded, understanding colleagues who provide practical advice and emotional reinforcement. This network, enriched by professional groups and mentorship, offers a backbone of support, particularly for those from marginalized groups. Reflect: How can you forge these vital connections in your workplace this week? #LeadershipGrowth #SupportNetwork #BIPOC #womenleaders

“Despite its importance, organizations can struggle to successfully attend to issues related to diversity, equity, and inclusion. This should not be a "check-box exercise." Deeply embedding DEI into the DNA of your organization not only creates an environment where everyone can flourish, it is also the ultimate competitive advantage that propels organizations to the highest levels of success.” https://lnkd.in/gm7Ftgt8 Psychology Today #people #planet #purpose #lifelessons #emotionalintelligence #leaders #leadership #diversity #equity #inclusion #business

This article nails a lot about why it is hard for women to get promoted to more senior levels. Our research and data at Ceresa backs this up (more to come on that - teaser alert)... love this quote "companies don't promote hard working people into executive roles, they promote leaders'. This is EXACTLY why we built Ceresa - to help build confidence, leadership skills, networking and strategic thinking. Coaching and mentoring is critical. https://lnkd.in/gSniUtZV

💡 BE SOLUTION FOCUSED. I have a Women of Timeshare group and every month we vote a person to showcase as our Woman of the Month. This month we showcased one of my mentors and one of her answers was so thought provoking to me. I haven't asked if I could share her name, so I won't, but she is a woman who keeps a steady hand in the toughest of situations. The entire interview was great, but this question stood out: As a leader who has successfully navigated challenges, what advice do you have for emerging leaders in overcoming obstacles and building resilience in the dynamic business landscape? A- "My advice for emerging leaders is to be solution-focused. If you spend your time looking at the reasons why you can’t do something, nothing will get done. Focus on small steps you can make toward the goal and along the way you will likely find the path. It sounds corny but staying positive goes a long way. Co-workers will want to support you more and your leaders will want to keep you on project teams because you have a good attitude and work towards accomplishing things. We have all worked with negative people who only complain about the situation and don’t come up with helpful solutions. After some time, you look around and notice they are no longer in meetings and no longer on project teams. A positive outlook can lead growth opportunities and career longevity." Bravo and perfect. 👏 Staying solution focused is of utmost importance in all situations. I have watched this woman go through the most difficult business transitions, challenges, unrealistic targets and she has always been the calm feeling in the room. She is walking wisdom and brilliant. So grateful to know her and so many other brilliant men and women that I've come to know and learn from. #women #leadership #wisdom #business

Do you ever wake up, get ready for work and feel like you have to put on a mask? Being authentic can seem like a hard thing to do in the workplace. However, allow me to put this in context for you. You spend approximately one-third of your life at work. If you don`t do the things you love then you are spending one-third of your time pretending. That is too much time to waste just for a check. Spend time in places where you can be yourself. I attached a great article about feminine leadership by @daniwatson. She makes 10 incredible points that I`m going to expand on throughout the week. https://lnkd.in/g3tFc8p5

If you're going to use content to promote your brand, this is a good way to do it. Also: Yes on the big takeaway! Empathy and kindness are highly effective leadership tools. As part of its Pass the Mic initiative, SXMMedia sat down with hundreds of accomplished women executives to dive deep into their career paths and leadership philosophies. What has made them successful? How do they approach their teams to drive commitment and growth? And a key discovery is that it all boils down to a level of kindness that hasn’t been seen in the workplace until now. https://lnkd.in/ewaMf_p5
