RealPage, Inc.’s Post

Got to spend an hour earlier this week chatting all things leadership and people empowerment with Mark Reddy for the upcoming edition of their Women Rock blog Final draft pending, but thought this snip was worth sharing as we drag ourselves over the finish line of a very long, grey and dreary first month of the year.. Let’s all have the confidence to ask for what we want in 2024. Let’s back ourselves enough to talk with purpose about what we want to achieve, and intentionally ask the questions that will help us get there Women Rock - A Voice For Diversity In Tech. #womeninbusiness #womeninleadership #womenempowerment #womenintech

As we celebrate International Women's Day today, I've been reflecting on the various reactions I've seen towards companies sharing their initiatives and spotlighting their women employees. It's no secret that some of these posts can feel a bit off or even tone-deaf at times. But I also think that we don't know what every single company does behind the scenes. I come from a field that is considered female-dominated, yet I still found myself in a toxic work environment. In a situation where I was underpaid (and overworked!). In a career that is designed to limit growth opportunities unless I chose to leave the classroom. Now I’m part of a *very* male-dominated industry, but, at my company, I've experienced a notable shift. Here, there's genuine appreciation for contributions, ample growth opportunities, better compensation, improved work-life balance, and overall, better treatment. So, yeah, it’s easy to criticize companies for what some may view as “merely spotlighting” their women employees without considering their actions to close gender gaps. But we don’t know everything. And today, I’d rather celebrate those companies that are actively working towards gender equality, even if they don't explicitly list all their efforts. After all, I believe that no matter what a company posts, there will always be someone ready to criticize. Happy International Women's Day! I was proud to share a few of my thoughts in today's spotlight. #IWD2024 #supportingwomen #womeninbusiness

Networking at its best..

Celebrating the Unmatched Power of Women by Redwingz On this International Women's Day, Redwingz proudly celebrates the indomitable spirit and unmatched power of women. In every task they undertake, women seamlessly intertwine aesthetics with efficiency, infusing grace into every endeavor. As natural trainers in all aspects of life, women effortlessly navigate through various roles, serving as mentors, caregivers, leaders, and innovators. They embody the ethos of learning and development, constantly evolving and empowering others along the way. At Redwingz, we recognize that women bring a unique perspective to the table, one rooted in empathy, resilience, and unwavering determination. They understand the intricacies of human connection and the importance of fostering an inclusive learning environment where everyone can thrive. From shaping the minds of future generations to revolutionizing industries, women leave an indelible mark on every sphere they touch. In the corporate landscape, women are catalysts for change, driving innovation and pushing boundaries to create more equitable workplaces. Their innate ability to adapt and embrace challenges fuels organizational growth and fosters a culture of continuous learning. As trailblazers in their fields, women redefine success on their own terms, inspiring others to pursue their passions and break through barriers. Moreover, women extend their influence beyond the confines of the workplace, channeling their expertise into uplifting communities and championing causes close to their hearts. They understand that true progress stems from collective action and unwavering commitment to building a better world for future generations. As we commemorate Women's Day, let us not only celebrate the achievements of women but also reaffirm our commitment to empowering them in every aspect of life. Let us strive to create opportunities for women to thrive, to amplify their voices, and to cultivate a culture of inclusivity and equality. At Redwingz, we stand in solidarity with women everywhere, recognizing their invaluable contributions to learning, development, and societal progress. Together, let us continue to elevate and celebrate the extraordinary women who shape our world today and inspire generations to come.

In March, we honored Women's History Month, a time dedicated to celebrating the achievements and contributions of women throughout history. The Gartrell Group occupies a unique space in the world of GIS and software development. We are a Woman Owned Small Business (WOSB) in a male-dominated industry. Our company is still somewhat reflective of the industry in that most of our team are men, but we have an ever-growing cadre of amazingly competent women. I asked the women who work for The Gartrell Group, “What is it like to be a woman working for a woman-owned business in a dude-dominated industry? I feel like we have a company culture that's pretty counter to the norm in the tech industry. Have any of you worked for companies with different work cultures? Do you feel like we have something different here? Would you feel comfortable expanding on any of that?” I received several thoughtful responses.

"From Humble Beginnings to Inspiring Women: The BAGGGEL Foundation- Creating Balanced World Story!" As I reflect on the journey that led me to found BAGGGEL, I'm filled with a profound sense of purpose and determination. It all began with a simple yet powerful belief: 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗻𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗶𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁. 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝘂𝘀, 𝗕𝗔𝗚𝗚𝗚𝗘𝗟 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗻. From humble beginnings, hosting networking events with just a handful of women professionals, to witnessing the exponential growth of our community to 90 strong within six months, the journey has been nothing short of transformative. Each step reaffirmed my belief that when women come together, incredible things happen. But BAGGGEL is more than just a networking platform – it's a movement, a catalyst for change in a world where women remain vastly underrepresented in corporate leadership roles. Through initiatives like The Leaders Network, we're creating a safe space for women to explore their authentic selves, forge bonds of sisterhood, and ultimately, claim their seats at the table. Our philosophy – 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗱, 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗯, 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 – embodies the spirit of unapologetic ambition, self-confidence, and legacy-building. It's about rewriting the narrative of success and creating a world where women CEOs are the norm, not the exception. Yet, the road to equality is fraught with challenges. As the only VP of Engineering in my last job, I know firsthand the loneliness of the top table and the uphill battle women face in breaking through the glass ceiling. But I refuse to let these obstacles deter me. Through initiatives like our flagship conference, "Being CEO Ready," we're bridging the chasm and paving the way for a future where women flourish together. But perhaps the most inspiring aspect of BAGGGEL is our ultimate mission: to perish. Yes, you heard that right – BAGGGEL exists not for its own perpetuation, but for the day when women find equal representation in corporate leadership roles. So, join me on this journey of empowerment and transformation. Let's shatter stereotypes, forge new partnerships, and create a world where leadership knows no bounds. The future is female, and it starts with us. Together, let's unleash the power of women and build a world where everyone has a seat at the table. #BAGGGEL #WomenEmpowerment #LeadershipRevolution #CEOready #WomenInLeadership #Sisterhood #GenderEquality #BreakingBarriers #EmpowerWomen #FutureIsFemale

Supporting women is ingrained in our ethos. In fact, 65% of the businesses we support are led by women. With a female co-founder, we wholeheartedly celebrate and champion women and girls venturing into self employment. We have collaborated with techSPARK Swindon & Wiltshire, Business West and The Workshed on an upcoming event on March 21st, dedicated to celebrating the inspiring women in our area. The goal of this event is to empower those contemplating starting their own business to take the leap, and celebrate those who have. This years theme for #IWD is inclusion. We are gathering for an informal discussion with some remarkable Female Founders, focusing on supporting women and girls into leadership, entrepreneurialism, and inclusion. We will be discussing questions that are often easier to ignore, such as how to ensure our efforts aren't tokenistic, why representation matters, and why inspiring inclusion is so important. Your voice matters. We want the audience to be part of the conversation. Share your experiences, ask questions, and connect with fellow entrepreneurs during our sessions.

This International Women's Day, I'm proud to join hands with all the phenomenal women who have been guests on Reveting’s WinsDay (formerly Whiskey WinsDay) in a unique campaign. Together, we're posting a video collage to not just celebrate women’s stories but to start a global conversation around the theme of "Inspire Inclusion." Inspiring inclusion isn't just a theme for one day. It's a commitment to making sure every woman feels seen, heard, and valued. From the boardroom to the grassroots, inclusion means creating spaces where every woman's presence is not just welcomed but essential. Join Reveting, as they: 💜 Reflect on our individual and collective efforts to contribute to a more inclusive world. 💜 Share learnings and the impact of embracing diverse perspectives. 💜 Highlight what's working in our respective fields to create an environment where every woman can thrive. 💜 Discuss new initiatives we are exploring to further the cause of women's inclusion. Let's pledge to make inclusion not just an initiative but a part of our identity. Because when we lift each other up, we all rise. Here are some of the women in business, I am fortunate to be associated with, and I want to give my appreciation to: Sherilyn Williams Casiano Sylvia Romero Jessie Lizak Lisa Ragan Arabia Simeon Rebecca Paone, MBA Jaye Miller Karen Frame Samantha Wilson #IWD2024 #InspireInclusion P.S. Let's keep the conversation going. Share your story, your actions, and how you're inspiring inclusion in your corner of the world.
