Retaining and Motivating Your Top Female Leaders!
I hope this message finds you excited to join me at this Thursday's webinar!
I wanted to share a quick but impactful video with you. It’s all about how female leaders can thrive during disruptive times, and it offers some practical tips you can start using today.
In the video (above), I cover:
- Managing Fear: Turning fear into a motivational tool.
- Goal Setting: The importance of setting short, intermediate, and long-term goals.
- Mindset Shifts: Moving from "what if" to "imagine if."
Why is this important?
Research from the American Psychological Association and the Peterson Institute for International Economics highlights that female leaders enhance productivity, collaboration, and profitability. However, many organizations struggle to retain this invaluable talent, but I have a proven framework to help female leaders stay motivated and feel in control, even in chaotic times.

Most of us simply don’t naturally embrace change.
Change can often feel like a storm at sea, at any moment there is a possibility of being flung overboard, the ship may capsize or when the sea returns to calm, you realize you are not on board.
Staying motivated through change is hard and costly.
It affects productivity, and ultimately, profitability.
Through all my years coaching Olympic athletes, female executives and their teams, time and time again I have seen how my clients have flipped fear on its head and turned it into something they can use to keep on track and stay motivated and highly productive.
Fear and insecurity often hold teams back during times of disruption... but it doesn’t have to.

Ever Regretted NOT Speaking Up?
(Scroll below to view the video)
Have you ever had a birthday come and go when you received nothing? No recognition, no card, no special dinner. Nothin'! That happened to me a while back, and it felt like I was invisible and no one cared. The reality was that the most important people in my life cared, but it somehow slipped their busy minds.
See, it’s a human drive to be acknowledged and validated. For example, "Happy birthday!" "Can we spend some time together?" "I made you a card that has a heartfelt note." etc.
When it comes to work, we can have greater influence on ourselves and our teams if we acknowledge our/their milestones... great and small. If we celebrate the process and not just the outcomes, such as making those follow-up calls, the trips to the gym, or trying that new recipe... rather than just the closed deals, weight loss or delicious meals prepared.
If we are not receiving what we need from our colleagues, management, family or...
