FEELING SOCIAL?

High-performing women with ambition, women on a mission, women who desire to advance their careers, women who desire more leadership and influential roles, and women who not only want to build their confidence in the workplace but also desire to be bold, build resilience and to use their voices to cultivate meaningful workplace and societal change - I would love to hear from you for some "market research". . . What are your biggest challenges in the workplace? In society? As a female in general? . . With what do you wish you had more support around? Mentorship from other women who have paved the way? Public speaking? Strategic planning? Critical thinking? Support in taking action? Confidence building? Overcoming fear of failure or judgment from others? Support in working through perfectionism, procrastination, lack of worthiness for promotions, advances or speaking up in male-dominated industries? . . If ANYTHING has prevented you from feeling confident and capable to speak up, ask for, and advance into higher paid, more senior and more influential roles, (the ones that you are so worthy, competent and capable of stepping into - you may just not realize it, yet) I would be so grateful if you sent me a DM to share your story and the support you wish you had in the workplace, in your business or in society in general.✌🏼
I once gave a talk to a group of over 100 young girls under the age of 12 on self-worth, self-love and authenticity. I asked the group what do you want to be when you grow up? Among the inspiring answers I heard "Astrophysicist", "The first female President", "The founder of Microsoft" (that one's already taken, but admirable none-the-less...) and finally, "A lawyer with a side Zumba business". . . As women grow up, a lot of us tend to lose that confidence and fearlessness that allow us to live fully. We stop pursuing the ideas, careers or businesses that were once important, we stop believing we are worthy or deserving of sharing our voice, our opinion, our beliefs, and making the difference we once once wanted to make in the world. . . If you're reading this, you're likely not one of the estimated 98 million girls under the age of 18 who do not have access to education. On #InternationalDayOfTheGirl, let's do our part to make sure girls grow up in a world where their voices are heard and that they feel safe, supported and encouraged to do whatever it is they feel called to do and be whoever it is they feel called to be. It's also a great time to remind yourself that you are oh-so-worthy and deserving of doing the same.
Growing up I had this misconception about what feminism was and what it looked like to get involved. I've learned since, that it simply means equal opportunities and rights. An equal distribution of power and influence, financial independence, and access to education. Equal opportunities and rights to develop personal talents, ambitions, strengths and interests. Equal opportunity and rights to live a life free from coercion, gender-based violence and intimidation. You know. Basic things. . . Yet while all of this feels common sense to me, I had a conversation with a group of women today about my own stories of inadequacy about sharing my voice on the topic. I've told myself, I don't know enough. I'm not educated enough. I'm not informed enough. And the simple yet profound advice I received today was, "So get informed. Then talk about it." . . So for those who are feeling called to get involved, to learn more, to get informed (which includes clients, friends and the lovely woman I met on the sidewalk the other day who broached the topic with me - I would reiterate the simple message I just received: Get informed. Then talk about it. We all have to start somewhere. . . And if you're local and looking for a great place to join the dialogue, join me at The Exchange on October 25th in Calgary, AB — an annual breakfast hosted by the Canadian Women's Foundation for those who want to better understand the actions we can take to move gender equality forward. It’s an opportunity to exchange ideas on the role we can play to advance gender equality at work, at home and in our circles of influence. Funds raised will support Canadian Women’s Foundation programs that help women move out of poverty, out of violence, and into confidence and leadership. ✨ Informative AND for a worthy cause. Yes please. 🙋🏼‍♀️ If you’re interested in learning more, head on over to canadianwomen.org/theexchange to grab your ticket and join the conversation.
