Female leaders have played significant roles throughout history, but the church has not always been a place for developing, empowering, and supporting women in their leadership gifts. In this course, J.R. Briggs and Mandy Smith guide you through a deeper understanding of female leadership in the context of the church and how leaders can address some of the challenges that inhibit women from developing their leadership gifts:

From 1972, when Katharine Graham of the Washington Post Co. became the first woman Fortune 500 CEO, it took until 2023 – more than 50 years – for women to reach an all-time high of 10.6% of Fortune 500 CEOs. That dismal statistic highlights the need for more women in all levels of leadership positions. Let’s not take 50 more years to reach the next 10%! How can you help? SUPPORT 2024 WLC and FWLE! Women-led leadership development programs propel women into new ways of thinking about leadership – expanding their possibilities, enhancing their leadership knowledge and skills, boosting their confidence, and igniting their ambition.

Climbing the corporate ladder is still a challenge for women in Michigan public companies, but the rungs are getting closer together as more women achieve senior positions.

Many high achievers are plagued with the habit of comparing themselves to their ideal selves, leading to constant negative thoughts, and rarely feeling like they're hitting their stride. Being negative is easy and the majority of us talk to ourselves in a negative tone and manner. We nitpick all of the things we shouldn't have done, should have done better and the way we talk to ourselves when we look in a mirror is even worse ,especially as we age all of these thoughts make you feel terrible. Today, I am honored to be a panelist for the CHPA 'Confidence to be My Best Self' event along with six other talented and successful women. As a panelist I hope to share the positive impact of frequent reflection on my successes as a woman who worked in corporate America and as the founder of Checkable. After deep reflection and coaching I realized I was constantly feelinging like I wasn't living up to the woman I wanted to be in my mind, I was comparing myself to who I wanted to be and it was dragging me down. 9 months after starting Checkable I wrote down everything I had accomplished personally and professionally, I started to remember new accomplishments as the days passed since doing the exercise, I would smile and feel proud of the woman who went for it. This is how we should feel about ourselves and our bodies, this shifts your mindset and puts in you a state of positivity and confidence. Growing and getting confidence back starts with this exercise and continues with daily relection on wins and appreciation/recognition for the losses and what they taught you for your future self.

Cheers to a great start to 2024! #startup #startuplife #ceoleadership #founders #foundersjourney #health #healthcare #diagnostics #diagnostictesting
