Hello 2023! Exciting News!!
Happy New Year!
I am incredibly optimistic about the opportunities that lie ahead for women in leadership for 2023. With all the uncertainty with in economy, lay-offs, weather (as I watch the 20 waves in here in California), there is tremendous opportunity to rise while others speculate or are fearful of the âwhat ifsâ. Â
You are limitless, remember?:) Despite everything going on around you.Â
For some, itâs been a very difficult time, and itâs with incredible respect and gratitude that I have for you to keep showing up and inching forward towards a better day. Take comfort in knowing that there is a proven process to help.
For others, opportunity has knocked, and youâve opened the door wide open! Youâve raised your hand, and the universe has answered in a big way! Â
Here are a few facts that I know and many that I didnât know until I went to my husbandâs dear friend, @Tiffany Shlain's opening exhibit at @Shack15 in San Francisco. Women have been in power since the beginning of tim...
Is Your Executive Membership Falling Short?
The world seems to be in a precarious place, and I believe wholeheartedly that the course correction that we need to see right now will be led by women (and fueled by some incredible male allies). Do you agree?
As part of the Limitless Leader community, youâre undoubtedly committed to being a heard, valued, respected, and energized agent of change, with your family, peers, subordinates, and with your leadership while empowering others to do the same.
In addition to being lit up by whatâs possible, sometimes leaning into our highest sense of contribution and change, can be challenging, frustrating, and downright exhausting! Where our passion meets our expertise is our Olympics, our legacy, and what the world
so desperately needs to see right now.
Like the work put in by Olympians, the thousands of hours and days leading up to the culmination of our lifeâs work, sometimes in solitude, and often with no fanfare or recognition, you keep going.
Just as Olympians dream of gold, we dream of equali...
Time to Plan Your Exit Strategy and Decide Whatâs Next?
Clarity is fluid and many times not easy to reassess. One thing I know for sure is that our future depends on women leaders to shift cultures, companies, and the world for the greater good.
 If you feel like itâs time to take an honest look at an exit strategy, assess the impact you want to have in your company prior to your departure, and decide on whatâs next, it will not likely happen in solitude.
 Executive peer advisory communities are SO important for influential heart-centered female leaders, especially for women who are âonlysâ and âdouble onlysâ in their companies and/or boardrooms.
 After speaking with over two dozen female executives that are seriously considering dropping their executive womenâs membership or know of many who have already dropped, I got curious to find out why.
 Hereâs what I found out and possibly what to consider when choosing an executive peer advisory for yourself:
 1. True peers and not mentorship sessions. Many executive women felt like they we...
