Rochester Rotary Club (NY)’s Post

"No matter where you move you always have to bring yourself with ya" This week on Timeout with Leaders, Tyler White and I sit down with Tracey Dreisbach, Executive Director of Rochester Rotary Club (NY). We knew we were in for a real treat when Tracey logged into Zoom! Listen to the full podcast here: https://lnkd.in/gjzq9p7W Tracey's story is a testament to the power of following your passion and embracing authenticity. From her early realization that she was meant to help others to her impactful leadership at the Rochester Rotary Club (NY) since 1997, Tracey's journey is one of purpose, perspective and dedication. Growing up around someone living with a disability taught Tracey the importance of accessibility, belonging, and equity, shaping her thoughts on life and leadership. With over 355 members in the Rochester Rotary, Tracey views each of them as a boss, emphasizing the significance of leading with authenticity to earn respect and support. This was not a title she had ever envisioned but became more confident in her abilities to lead others as well as an organization focused on good business over time. It wasn't something she would be GIVEN, but knew she WANTED and deserved but would have to EARN. This brought me to thinking about the stark difference between WANT and EARN, just because we WANT something doesn't mean we are entitled to have it. Sometimes we are impatient and believe we deserve something, despite not having to work hard to earn it. If we have this mindset we are more likely like Tracey Dreisbach to TRY more, despite being outside our comfort zone, leading to innovation, creativity, and engagement of all involved. Tracey's leadership philosophy is grounded in grace, trust-building, and compassion, both for herself and others. She understands the value of earning trust, not just titles, to deliver impactful experiences, such as those at Camp Good Days & Special Times. Despite the demands of her role, Tracey prioritizes self-care, recognizing its role in reinvigorating her team and fostering innovation, while also modeling the way for her employees. Listen in as Tracey shares her insights on leadership, teamwork, and the pursuit of making a difference in the lives of others. You too can discover how to lead with authenticity and create positive change in your business, home, and community. #leadership #Rotary #CEO #RochesterNY #Culture

Supporting Others Starts with Showing Up For Yourself First! Earlier in September I had the honor of speaking on a panel at the 4th Annual Show Up Summit (Thank you Jaydee Graham and Lauren Muir, LPCC-S for hosting another amazing event)! This year’s summit was focused on relationships and my panel highlighted how to show up in relationship with yourself. It was a beautiful conversation with so much wisdom. One of the biggest takeaways was the importance of cultivating: Self-Acceptance. Self-Compassion. Self-Love. These don’t sound like typical leadership competencies often discussed at work. However, research proves that these are integral building blocks for other important leadership traits such as: Confidence Executive Presence Integrity Authenticity Creativity Healthy Relationships When we can accept, love and have compassion for ourselves, the way we show up drastically improves. And not just for ourselves. It changes how we show up for and connect with our co-workers, teams and organizations; our friends and family; and our communities. How has self-compassion, love or acceptance improved your professional life or career? I'd love to hear. So great connecting with you, Teresa Phelps Martin, MS, LPCA, .Kristie Crenshaw, Angelica Williams, Rae Daniel, Leslie Erwin Dover, Teresa Walker, MD.

A culture that elevates individuals, boosts their self-esteem, and empowers them to surpass their own expectations? That's what we looked to accomplish at Massey Knakal. This type of nurturing environment, where investment in people was paramount, has borne remarkable fruit. Today, in the New York City investment sales arena, 30 companies or divisions of companies are steered by those who honed their skills with us. That legacy fills me with immense pride. The cornerstone of this success? Servant leadership. It's certainly not a new management style but it's something that Paul and I embraced wholeheartedly. Servant leadership is about leading by serving. It's about motivating through inspiration, creating a culture where people act because they are driven by passion, not obligation. Servant leadership is about being a positive force, continually investing in those around you, and prioritizing their growth and success. It's about serving first, before seeking power, fame, or wealth. And yes, it's perfectly fine to aspire for these, but the primary goal should always be to uplift and support those in your sphere. Tune in on my YouTube channel to explore how servant leadership can redefine success and create lasting impact. You can find the 🔗 to the entire episode in the first comment. #bkrea #nycrealestate

Hey there! I'm Angela Quach. If we haven't met yet, welcome aboard! Excited to share a glimpse into my world and connect with you! 🔓✨ Raised in Columbus, #Ohio, as an Asian American in a working-class family, I faced challenges that made me feel like a square peg in a round hole. The weight of racism and the constant pressure to conform left scars on my heart. Each day, I faced the challenge of fitting into a mold defined by others – a mold shaped by factors beyond my control, including my family's class and the color of my skin. Yet, I discovered a simple truth that would reshape my entire perspective: I am perfectly made by God. As I embraced my identity, I discovered the power within me to rise above my circumstances. I transformed from a young woman facing adversity to a successful businessperson who started from nothing. Being a woman of diversity became a source of strength, a vital part of my identity, and one of my core values. Today, as Angela Quach - Leadership & Empowerment Coach, Business Mentor, and CEO, my mission is to guide individuals and organizations to reach their fullest potential. And throughout my career, I've happily played a role in elevating the brands of industry giants like Tony Robbins, AT&T, and DIRECTV. Angela Quach #Coaching reflects my unique blend of strategic acumen, leadership expertise, and motivational insight. It's more than a brand—it's an invitation to a transformative journey for those seeking personal and professional empowerment. Cheers to embracing our uniqueness and becoming the powerful leaders we were born to be! 🥂 #AngelaQuach #Empowerment #Leadership #Diversity

Yesterday, I received an unexpected call from a client I hadn’t heard from in a while. 🤔 I couldn’t take the call at the time, so they left a message: “Can you get back to me when you have a minute?” With a bit of hesitation, I rang them back. I was met with something that really humbled me: “I’ve been reflecting on the work i've been doing over the last year, and I wanted to reach out and say thank you for what byDiffusion did for us. It wasn’t an easy brief, but the impact really stuck with me.” It’s not often that a CEO reaches out personally to express their gratitude. It reminded me that the work we do—no matter how challenging or seemingly small—is genuinely impactful. Building byDiffusion and One for the City with Sat Mann, has been an incredible journey so far. We've always believed that businesses and leaders are transformed by thoughtful, creative solutions, but hearing it directly from a client makes all the hard work worthwhile. This isn’t just about saying “thank you” — it’s about the realisation that our work is having a real, positive impact on businesses and their teams. I’m really proud of what we’ve achieved so far, and moments like this fuel our passion. #BusinessGrowth #businesstrategy #leadership #byDiffusion #1fortheCity

"Be authentic!" they say. But don't they know that's risky business? My and your authenticity may not fit workplace professionalism. If we were truly to be ourselves, we could be seen as... - too adventurous - too laid back - too intense - too quiet - too artsy - too loud - too silly - too crazy - too much - too nerdy - too dramatic - too imaginative - too spontaneous Too Different. The reality is, being "professional" is too ridiculously limiting. Remember that many Greats were "too something." Steve Jobs was too difficult. Oprah was too emotional. Taylor Swift was too weird. Your 'different' is your advantage. It's literally your key differentiator. *********** 📌 Learn 3 Secrets to use your difference as a career advantage at my Leadership Masterclass for Diverse Professionals. It's Apr 16 & 17, you pick!
