"Conversations are the new currency." 💎 Several years ago, these powerful words from my dear sister-friend @BrendaRussellWilliams sparked a revelation that transformed my approach to coaching high-achieving exhausted women. Hint: I had membership in this club for years. During the height of COVID, where genuine connection became more precious than ever, I dedicated myself to curating intimate spaces where women could engage in soul-nourishing conversations that matter. Since then, my coaching model was transformed into a conversation centered approach. The results have been transformative. Through these carefully crafted dialogues, I've witnessed women: • Find emotional healing and wholeness • Break free from limiting comfort zones • Reclaim their authentic voices • Embrace the power of intentional rest • Let go of self-limiting excuses • Discover hidden facets of themselves Every conversation becomes a currency of change, investing in the emotional wealth and personal growth of each participant. When women gather to share their stories, magic happens. 🌟 Ready to invest in yourself? Join our waitlist for the next intimate conversation circle! • DM me "CONNECT" to reserve your spot • Limited to 8 women for maximum impact • Virtual options available Don't let another moment pass without giving yourself the gift of transformative connection. Your story matters, and we're waiting to hear it. #WomenEmpowerment #AuthenticConversations #PersonalGrowth #WomenInBusiness #EmotionalWellness #CommunityBuilding #WomensCircle

Who's that girl?... And why is she here? On #linkedin where good business people are busy doing...well...what they do❗ I'm sure you've guessed it by now - that little girl is... ME 😊 😂 😃 I must be around 7 years old in that old school photo (taken so many 🌙's ago!) At that age things seem to be so simple. We are great at thinking out of the box and we're all for trying out new things. These are all great qualities to have when it comes to starting and growing your business. Research shows employees are being encouraged to experiment and take some risks. Progressive companies understand if things don't quite work out individuals are not singled out and failure is managed and handled with care. They are also great qualities to remember when you are designing a #presentation. In my experience the best presenters keep things simple, experiment with their style and format and inject a 'wow,' or 'shock' in somewhere to get the dopamine going. And best of all - these things are free and we can access them quickly to achieve the right results. How quickly we forget, when we are in the midst of mayhem or doing mundane things or just getting on with life and the day. Its worth taking a moment to digest the lesson. Love to know what you were like when you were younger - go on...put it in the comment 😊 #businesswomen Alex Gardner Neeta Halai Veena P.

I got eve-teased on Women’s Day (2 weeks ago) The f*cking irony. I was having an ongoing conversation with a lead on LinkedIn for career-related services. The said person kept asking queries for days but never booked the services. (Which I had no issues with) Me, being oblivious, kept the conversation going thinking it will convert eventually. On 8th March he again texted me. And I replied to all his texts like I would for any other lead. And then lo and behold, the said person made a very inappropriate remark about my looks and pictures. That made me feel awfully uncomfortable for the rest of the day and affected my productivity as well. Definitely not how I imagined my Women’s Day to go. I read somewhere recently that 1 out of 4 women in workplace are still experience inappropriate behaviour. (I think the real number is way higher) And now, this person is going around texting on DM and commenting on my posts that why am I not replying back… I blocked him for my peace of mind. But this is not acceptable. Condoning such behaviour is like sweeping the problem under the carpet. All in all, being a woman entrepreneur has its own set of problems that men don’t ever have to face. Hats off to all women who are going through sh*t every single day to build something for themselves.

Safe Spaces I had a lovely conversation with a client the other day, and it rekindled my belief that high performing women need safe, neutral spaces to think, strategize, have powerful conversations and refill their cups before stepping out into the world again. You’ve been given a gift if you are that kind of woman. You are not ordinary. You are capable of a lot. You handle a lot. It’s powerful and privileged to be at the top, but it is a role that has unique challenges as well. How do you lay it all down and be vulnerable? Where do you get loyal, genuine support? I wish for you exactly what my other high performing clients get from me: A safe space. An inspiring space. Conversations that leave you savoring how you felt. Challenges that make you feel worthy and capable of going higher. You don’t always need a group session. You don’t need a cookie-cutter coach approach. You deserve one-on-one time to talk about YOU. This weekend, DM me, or book a Connection Call by tapping this link: https://lnkd.in/dHnZ642e Because the life you want is totally possible. #lifecoach #highperformingwomen #personaldevelopment #csuitewomen

❤️🔥Have you noticed a pattern of attracting men who don’t match your fire, drive, ambition, and passion or what you have to offer? You would love to meet someone who is your equal, who can bring the same to the table, who has a great life already and doesn’t need looking after. You don’t want to be with someone who needs a trophy on their arm to make them look good. You want to match and compliment each other . Someone who wants to go on the same adventures as you do. It’s more common than you think… Many high-achieving women find themselves in this predicament, but the good news is that it’s a pattern that can be transformed. As a Dating & Relationship Coach, I’m working with high-level women who are experiencing this exact challenge. Often, deep-rooted beliefs and emotional wounds can unknowingly draw us to partners who aren’t our equals. As your coach, I will guide you to heal these patterns. By transforming your relationship with yourself, releasing emotional blockages, and creating strong empowering beliefs, you’ll naturally begin to attract partners who align with your new energetics and highest aspirations. Together, we’ll pave the way for you to attract a partner who matches you in every way – professionally, emotionally, and spiritually. This transformation is 100 percent within your reach, and I’m here for it and for you every step of the way. #womeninbusiness #womenentrepreneurs #corporateexecutive

💡 The Power of Authenticity 💡 Let's dive into the transformative power of authenticity and how it can propel you towards success! 🌟 In a world that often encourages conformity, embracing your authenticity can be a challenge. But here's the truth: when you are true to yourself, you become a magnet for opportunities and connections that align with your values and aspirations. Practical Tip: Surround yourself with a support network of like-minded individuals who celebrate and appreciate your authentic self. Seek out communities, both online and offline, where you can be your true self without judgment. These connections will uplift and inspire you on your journey. Remember, being authentic doesn't mean you have to be perfect. Embrace your imperfections, celebrate your uniqueness, and let your true self shine! ✨ 🔔 Coming soon! I am excited to announce the upcoming launch of my authentic-based discipline guide. It will provide practical strategies and insights for ambitious women who want to embrace discipline while staying true to themselves. Stay tuned for more details! #AuthenticityPower #EmbraceYourTrueSelf #ConnectWithYourTribe #AuthenticBasedDisciplineGuide

💥💯Independent Woman? No Partner Allowed? ♀️♂️ ✅Support comes in all forms: We can be self-sufficient and driven while still desiring supportive partnerships. A partner who respects your independence and supports your goals can be a powerful asset, not a burden. ✅Partners as cheerleaders: Forget the damsel-in-distress trope! True partnerships are about mutual respect, encouragement, and shared victories. Celebrate each other's successes and lift each other up. ✅Redefining dependence: Dependence isn't weakness. We all rely on others in some way, whether it's friends, family, or even that friendly barista who knows your coffee order. Embrace healthy interdependence and build a strong support system. ☕️ ✅Love & ambition can coexist: Don't choose between a fulfilling career and a loving relationship. Find someone who thrives on your drive and celebrates your ambitions. Remember, love shouldn't dim your inner fire. 👉Remember: Your definition of independence is personal. You can be a badass boss lady and still crave a supportive partnership. Don't let societal expectations box you in! Break free from these limiting narratives and create the life and relationships that truly resonate with you. What are your thoughts? Share your experiences and perspectives on independence and partnerships in the comments below! #MythBusters #WomenSupportingWomen #RedefiningRelationships #ShatterTheMold #LiveYourTruth P.S. Stay tuned for more myth-busting adventures! I am on a mission to empower women to create lives that fulfill them, with or without a partner, on their own terms! 🌟🌟🌟👇 Bonus: Check out this TED Talk by Sheryl Sandberg on why women shouldn't have to choose between love and career: https://lnkd.in/eXj9H8ir

Women Can Achieve Success in Love and Business: Let's Make it Happen🔥 What are the obstacles that derail even the most successful relationships. Blame, distractions, feeling defensive – these are just a few of the culprits that can wreak havoc on our emotional connection with our partners. 1️⃣ Blame turns us away from our partner's emotional needs, making them feel unimportant. 2️⃣ Distractions, whether from work, friends, or social media, can keep us from truly paying attention to our loved ones. 3️⃣ And let's not forget about the destructive impact of infidelity, which often stems from a lack of validation and reinforcement in our primary relationship. Hey ladies! I'm here to guide you through it all and I guarantee you will experience immediate relief! Let's work together to break free from these destructive patterns and cultivate a relationship built on trust, understanding, and genuine connection. Believe me if I can do it so can you! I believe in you💋❤️ #WomenLeaders #FemaleEmpowerment #ExecutiveCoaching #SuccessMindset #PowerfulWomen #CEOCoaching #CareerGrowth #LeadershipDevelopment #EmpoweredWomen #WomenInBusiness

I read an article last week that said, on average, 10% of people will dislike you no matter what you do. Initially that was a seriously disheartening reality. Especially for an ultimate glass-half-fuller like me. But when I thought on it a little more, it actually started to feel quite freeing. The fear of people not liking you or how you choose to present yourself to the world can be a really paralysing thing. It can have you trying to hear every single opinion and meet every single expectation, to the point where it all just blurs into one big, confusing, anxiety-inducing noise, and leaves you feeling pretty lost and directionless. As humans, we’re biologically programmed to seek community and connection as a means of survival, so when it feels like someone is disapproving of who we are or something we’ve done, for most of us it immediately triggers that most basic of instincts: fear of isolation. Exclusion. Disconnection. And fear can be a powerful motivator for all the wrong reason’s. The only thing stronger than fear in my experience? Purpose. Every time I question myself, or overthink, or catch myself worrying too much about what people might be thinking about me, I remind myself why I do what I do. I remind myself why I say yes to the scary talk, why I sit up in bed at night once the rest of the house has fallen asleep writing the post, why I proactively go after any opportunity to put a spotlight on these types of conversations. To forge a path of less resistance for the women coming up behind me. Whether it’s one person, or one thousand people - impact is impact. And we all have the potential to have one on someone else just by telling our story. If 10% of people are going to dislike you no matter what you do, that means there’s still 90% out there just waiting for you to stand for something they care about💡✨ #womensupportingwomen #womeninbusiness #womenintech Inspiration credit: Justin Welsh

𝗪𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲𝗱, 𝗼𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱?   Piggybacking off Elisha Kirkham's post (here: https://lnkd.in/ePrpqFFV), I thought my comment was worth its own post.   You can't be everyone's cup of tea. I know a lot of us wish we could be, and that we were, but that's an unattainable goal.   Growing up, more than anything I just wanted people to like me and to feel like I fit in. It never worked. I don't even feel like I fit in most places now (and I'm in my thirties!)  I'm not like everyone else, or even the majority most of the time. I'm awkward, weird, loud, direct and I have an odd and dark sense of humour (or so I've been told).   Not too long ago I found a quote that really resonated with me:   "𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂. It's best not to let other people's opinions prevent you from being the authentic version of yourself".   Although I still struggle with wanting to be liked, I now consciously remind myself of this.   I'm also compassionate, empathetic, intelligent, fun, passionate and loving, but some people won't see past their perception of me to see that. Some people will only see the negative in you or how you're not like them, no matter what you do or how much you try to change yourself to fit their ideal. Other people don't have a negative opinion of you; you just have different personalities and interests, so don't have much to bond over. It's not your responsibility to change who you are to get people to like you (and it doesn't work, or last anyway). It's YOUR responsibility to get up every day and try to be a decent person (including to people who you don't gel with). 𝗕𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗼𝗽𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴.   Now, how does this relate to the workplace?   How many friends I have, does not get my job done.  What gets my job done is demonstrating capability, passion, and drive. Building trust and respect with the people I'm working with and being able to work collaboratively regardless of whether or not we like each other on a personal level.   𝗗𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆.   Many people at the top of their fields have been different, haven't fitted a mold and/or been disliked by someone in their career, but they succeeded in spite of this. They demonstrated much more important things than popularity.   I've found my people (you know who you are) and my communities (shout out EDN Network & Altcats) over the years, but if you're not quite there yet, don't be discouraged and let it affect your career (and you'll find your people eventually!). 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗳. #womenintech #womensupportingwomen #beyourself #softcat
