Why Adding More Women To The Boardroom Is Key For Success And Higher ROI   The past year’s bank collapses, return-to-office controversies, activist investors and high-profile implosions of various companies have many stakeholders questioning business decisions. Government regulators are also taking action with new SEC rules on cybersecurity and climate disclosures in the works.   So, how do companies confidently move forward?   Bring more women into the boardroom.   Diversity in the boardroom brings a host of benefits. Companies with women directors often create greater shareholder value. More diverse boards can also lead to better reputational management, and one study found that companies with women in the boardroom recalled dangerous products 28 days faster. Finally, many have noted improved investor relations and strategy/risk oversight.   https://lnkd.in/ehk7Qv5E   #calabrese #accounting #consulting Jenn Calabrese Calabrese Consulting LLC

Happy International Women's Day! To celebrate women in data protection, I've written an Article that has featured in IT Security Guru discussing the important role we play in the industry. Representation of women is so important to reduce bias, promote diversity and inspire future generations. Give it a read and let me know what you think.😊

There is a glaring gender disparity within the financial industry. Everyone talks about the power of women, the need to serve women clients, and the influence women will have on the future of the industry but nothing changes. Until now. Women are controlling more wealth and demanding more from the industry but their needs continue to be unmet. That's why I created the Savvy Women Seminar. The seminar seeks to empower advisors, both male and female, with the essential tools to effectively tap into the powerful female market. With the Savvy Women Seminar, advisors have the opportunity to not only meet the needs of today's woman but exceed expectations. The financial industry is on the brink of a transformative shift, and the time to be a part of it is now. Click the link below to sign up: https://lnkd.in/eHEne4dp

Today is International Women's Day. As a 40-something mother of two young men and the founder of a small business (which, for now, is an all-women team), I carry both the flag and the internal conflict of how this can be perceived, on my shoulders. For me, IWD is not a gendered thing. It’s an achievement thing. A celebration thing. But I am aware that is sometimes not how it’s perceived. So, I find myself reflecting (again!) on the journey my risk advisory business has been on. From the conversations I had with my (ex) financial planner who looked at me and said "you know it's hard to run a business, don't you?" to the support I have from my clients with feedback like "the work you have led for has us 6 months ahead of plan, so job well done"... it is important to celebrate. What began as a solo venture has blossomed into a dynamic team of four, soon to be five remarkable people. Each member of the team brings passion, capability, and creativity to the table, driving our purpose to provide thoughtful, right-sized risk management solutions for our clients. So today I take a moment to celebrate not just the amazing people I work with directly, but also the incredible people in our broader network of colleagues and clients. And also to thank my own family & friends – my two clever young men, my parents, and close friends. Your support, insight, and collaboration have been pivotal in shaping the August Advisory story so far. It's a network that thrives on mutual respect, shared goals, and a commitment to excellence … and laughter. Our journey so far has been serendipitous, with our current all-women team forming not by design but by the natural gravitation of like-minded individuals. My hiring policy is about shared passion for risk and helping others achieve better outcomes through it. That’s it. This International Women's Day, I am so proud to celebrate the progress we've made as a business and the paths we're creating for ourselves. Our success is not just measured by the risks we help our clients see more clearly or the strategies we devise but by the supportive and empowering environment we nurture. To my team and my circle, thank you for your trust, engagement and invaluable contributions.

What are your thoughts on luck? Do you think you make your own luck or some people are luckier than others? Some of you may remember the quote by Gary Player the golfer 'The more I practice, the luckier I get.' which is a personal favourite of mine. I do believe that in business 'luck' needs a helping hand - bear with me 😁 and it's more in our control than we realise. For example if you know on average you need to speak to 10 people a week to get a new client, but you never speak to more than 5 a week then you're definitely minimising your chances of success. Another option of course is to work on getting the calls stronger so more than one in ten say yes 😁 So I guess what I'm saying is we need to give 'luck' a chance by increasing our opportunities, practicing and honing our skills and creating a great network around us to increase our chances. When we created Grow Her Business, an online Membership Community we wanted to help women in business increase their knowledge, learnings and opportunities and it's great to hear that we are doing just that.
