North Carolina Global Health Alliance’s Post

If you're a mid-career woman working in #globalhealth and living in North America, this PowerUp is for you! Join us on June 26 for a workshop, "Building Your Power & Rethinking Imposter Syndrome." A 2021 WomenLift Health report found that 42% of North American women classified “lack of confidence” as a top barrier to advancing into leadership positions. In this two-hour workshop, you'll work on defining and addressing imposter syndrome and learning to work with others to identify potential gaps to improve confidence. The workshop is free, but spots are limited! bit.ly/3VbCF16

Empowering women through connection and awareness 🌟 I had the incredible opportunity to facilitate an event that raised awareness about the importance of cancer screening for women. One key goal was to help attendees connect and network, and I designed a session inspired by Chad Littlefield “Connection Before Content” principle. From the initial awkwardness of arriving at a place where you don’t know anyone, we transformed the atmosphere into one where insightful conversations flourished. By asking powerful questions, we created a space where women felt comfortable sharing their stories, laughing, and reflecting together. One of the most memorable moments was when I asked what they heard when they asked the question, “What’s the most beautiful sound in the world?” Someone replied, “The beating of my heart.” Beautiful! Why “Connection Before Content”? Chad emphasises that genuine connections foster a more engaging and collaborative environment. I witnessed this firsthand as women felt empowered to collaborate and learn together. Conversations flowed naturally, and many left with new contacts to nurture friendships. Everyone was vulnerable and open to sharing their stories, creating a truly enriching experience. This event made my Saturday better and reinforced the power of connection in driving meaningful change💪💬 Elevative #Leadership #Networking #CancerAwareness #WomenEmpowerment #ConnectionBeforeContent

𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗔 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 🌟 This week I had the privilege of attending a Women in Transport and Women in Public Affairs panel discussion on the challenges facing women working in transport public affairs and policy. Each woman’s career journey is unique, yet common themes of positive experiences and navigating challenges emerged. As a Resilience Building Coach, two key takeaways resonated with me: 1️⃣ 𝗠𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝗡𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗱-𝗜𝘁-𝗙𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿: Keep a record of your achievements. This not only fosters a positive perspective during setbacks but also serves as evidence to advocate for yourself. 📂✨ 2️⃣ 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗔𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: Don’t assume others recognise your full value. Be proactive in showcasing your accomplishments. 🏆🌐 Both highlight good practices in reinforcing your mental strength – one of the five key components of resilience. When setbacks occur, it’s easy to dwell on what went wrong. Instead, reflect on your success, understand why they worked, and apply those practices to other situations. 🔄🌟 Curious about building resilience for yourself and your teams? Let’s connect for more insights. 🤝🧠 Special thanks to Women in Transport and Women in Public Affairs (WiPA) for organizing this enlightening discussion, JFG Communications for sponsoring, and Arup for hosting the event. 🙏🎉 How do you build your mental strength?

Check out this quick recap from last weeks International Women’s Day webinar!

Discover the 177 women health professionals who shared their experience for International Women’s Day #IWD2024 https://lnkd.in/evMxvfQh Ahead of the International Women’s Day on March 8, 2024, The Geneva Learning Foundation (TGLF) invited women in its global network of over 60,000 health workers to share their experience. In light of the challenges faced by women health workers, including those posed by conflict, disease, and climate change. TGLF sought to amplify their voices and perspectives on shaping the future, asking: 1. What advice would you share with your daughter (or another young woman) who wishes to pursue a career in health or humanitarian work? 2. In a world facing widespread challenges, what difference can women and girls make to build a better future? What is needed for the next generation of women and girls to live healthy, fulfilled lives no matter who they are or where they are born? Responses are currently being shared through TGLF's various social media platforms, fostering a global dialogue that honors women's wisdom and visions for a more equitable and sustainable future.
